A cheap alternative to ESRI, MAPINFO, and AUTODESK solutions for dynamic
mapping is SVG.

You can create the initial static maps in illustrator, coreldraw, mapinfo
and export them to SVG. Then add interactivity with javascript on the client
side and Java Servlets, CGI or whatever on the server side.

The svg-developers group at yahoo-groups is a great place to find answers to
any questions that you might have.
