Has anybody tried OpenStreetMap?

If not then you might like to try it, OpenStreetMap is a map project aimed at creating and providing free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. They do this by allowing users to contribute anywhere from the world by editing the world map with an online editing interface.

The project was started because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive or unexpected ways.

So yeah even though it needs improvement on the speed and zoom features why not go ahead and have a go and see what you make of it.
