This is an example of a very cool locator map built on Sharepoint v3
using Microsoft Live! or something.

I'm looking to do something similar with a list of contacts that I have
for a group. The differences are that I'd like to have the start
position of the map be at a position which shows JUST the metro area
I'm working in.

Can you point me toward resources to be able to do this? I'm not a
programmer per se, but I could probably figure out some templates.

I'd greatly appreciate any assistance in this regard.
