I have made an app that gets an array of addresses from a web service and I want to map them. I know Apple left this out in MapKit, including only a reverse GeoCoder. I was wondering what the best way to approach this problem was. Web Service? Google Maps API (How do API keys work?)? CloudMade?

What is your opinions on which service is fastest, easiest to use, and cheapest (hopefully free)?

Thanks, Conrad Kramer
