Location Services

I finally got Rock installed on our new server and am loving figuring out the all the bells and whistles first-hand.  As I'm working through the admin checklist, I can to location services.  The admin documentation "Admin Hero Guide" needs updated in regards to location services.  SmartyStreets (the suggested location service provider) no longer gives discounts to non-profits.  They do have a free service available to anyone that may still be useful for some church depending on their size, but they now only "donate" service to business startups...  not non-profits.

So, what does everyone use for their location service?  SmartyStreets?  Bing? Something else?

    We have been using Bing and it works quite well- as long as all addresses are physical addresses (no PO boxes). In another thread I've got a question about that and I'm trying to find out how to deal with that. So I'd love to hear what other people are using too!

      We got in with SmartyStreets before they changed their policy. We may need to reevaluate when our year is done!

    Thanks Michael.  I'll look into Bing instead.  We have a very new install and are working towards importing data from our CCB system, but it's a slow process.  I'm trying to get as much in order from the admin side as I can before we go public (obviously).
