Free Maps?
I have been looking [maybe in the wrong places] and cannot seem to find a free map service anywhere. One like this: http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?ed=iEvJ2K160SxhY90p6_O_cIBnFIB6YZDy0J1HRethfWMuROzX._r1hI9Q0FCNp9ZXSnhKLx6khegG6Wg-&name=Target&desc=%28707%29+575-0665&csz=Santa+Rosa+CA&country=us&cs=10&qty=9&ds=n&gid1=21684108 that you can place on your own site.
OR just place that map - or a less detailed one on your site as a jpg. I can create my own through Fireworks - but am wondering if there is something easier and better?

Did you try google maps? I've seen those all over the place - it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Yeah - it's really not what I am looking for.
I know that you can do a map like the one I have a link to - but there seems to be a lot of coding that is used - not very easy...am I wrong?

What do you mean it's not really what you're looking for? What are you looking for?
Here's an example of what you can do with Google maps:

Not a problem! Don't forget to read Google's guide here:
http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/
And although I haven't followed it myself, the official blog appears to contain some good info:
