What is the best business dir software? I would like something where I could add a logo, picture of establishment and a mapquest entry point.
I think there are several script out there that have add-ons that will handle this. BUT.... I would recommend creating your own as often time you can get more flexibility.
Try POBusinessDir pro which is very good. Just do a Google search for it and you will see for yourself. Below is the link: phponly.com/business.html
I would suggest you don't go for software it affects your site from spamming. You try manually submission.
I had a chance to have a look at eDirectory script, it's robust. I also like phpld and with custom mods from the right people, you can do a lot with it! Seriously! Else, if you got a few good thousand dollars to spend, have it made custom
