Requirement: I want to add a GIS capability to my app but I want more control than online GIS services provide

I want to add GIS capabilities to the app that I am developing but I need more control over the presentation of the rendering of the images than I can get with Google Maps.

I don't really want to code all of this from scratch because it will cost a fortune and I don't have the time anyway! Does anyone have a code library that can do this?
