What are the terms of the licensing for Expedia-maps?  Is it allowed
for a software application to use their maps in this way?  Any
special restrictions?

If we can't use Expedia due to licensing, check out Googlemaps as
their licensing appears to have changed a few months back:  There's
a possibility that we may be allowed to use their online maps now.
If others could check this out and let me know if they agree,
perhaps this is a road we should go down as we've had multiple
requests for this in the past.  The licensing didn't allow us to do
it earlier.
