Accessible map site?

On our new web site we're goig to have a locations directory and we want
to link addresses out to one of the map sites (google/yahoo/mapquest,
etc.) From an accessibility standpoint, is any one of those better than
the others? Granted, maybe maps aren't used a lot by those with vision
impairments, but I'm guessing some of the sites (like google) with their
addiction to Ajax could certainly cause issues with physically
navigating the page.
