Subject: [APG] Any good online mapping sites for Canada?

I have a client who has an ancestor who had two children christened at St. Columban Catholic Church, located at St. Columban, Ontario, Canada. That church is in the Diocese of London, Ontario. I would like to do a radial search of other Catholic churches in the area. I have copied the street address of all of the churches in the diocese from the 2002 edition of the Canadian Catholic Church Directory. This directory lists the year that each church was founded. Hence, what I would like to do is to enter the street address or postal code for the churches that were founded early enough into a program that will tell me how far each of those churches were from St. Columban, so that I can prioritize my searching by starting with those that were nearest St. Columban. (There are still christening records to find for known children. Plus I am hoping to find a Catholic record listing where in Ireland the father and mother were born.)

Does anyone know of a really good program for this? I have tried Expedia Maps and Mapquest, both of which claim to have maps for ALL of North America, but even though I know the postal code for St. Columban and the street address, neither site can find it. Any ideas?
