Alex - It's not in Delphi, and it's not open source, but ESRI has a free
Java version of ArcExplorer that can view shapefiles.  It even works on
Linux, sort of (can't get geotiff's [at least] to draw).  You may not be
able to distribute it either, but people could download it for free.

I don't know if it displays geocodes.
