Have you thought of using Google Maps API? With the Google Maps API you can load all the vendors you have including locations. Then add a box to allow users to type their address. The Google API will then show the distance to the nearest vendor. Type Google Maps API in the search to find documentation and tutorials on implementing this into your site.

If your looking for something a little more cheap but not as nicely packaged.(perhaps?)
