Community Question: How to Monetize Maps?

As some of you know, I've been working with mapping for the last 18 or so months.  These maps have points on them that are supplied by a service my customer has.  The question is, what are some ways to monetize maps?  We've got 4 or 5 ways that we have thought of, but I'd like to get the thoughts of the community.  So, feel free to comment in this post with your ideas.  Yes, we already have the idea of placing google ads around the pages.  Do you have other ad services, better ad services, licensing ideas, or other ideas that might generate income?  If so, I'd like your feedback and thoughts.
