OpenStreetMap Alternatives

OpenStreetMap is described as 'Project aimed squarely at creating and providing free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. It is a free editable map of the whole world. It is made by people like you' and is a leading Map service in the travel & location category. There are more than 50 alternatives to OpenStreetMap, not only websites but also apps for a variety of platforms, including Android, iPhone, iPad and Android Tablet apps. The best OpenStreetMap alternative is CoMaps, which is both free and Open Source. Other great sites and apps similar to OpenStreetMap are Organic Maps, OsmAnd, Google Maps and Google Earth.

    This is both yes and no. OpenStreetmap consists of map database, several renderings of that database as map images and web tools for browsing the images. MapQuest uses the same database, in a read-only way, although they may augment it. However it does have a different rendering from the default OpenStreetmap rendering and has a different user interface and additional functions. The OpenStreetmap user interface does, however, provide access to one of the MapQuest renderings.
