Popular options for North American street data tiger (free) OSM (free) ESRI (available with licensed ESRI software) Navteq ($$) Open Street Map "OpenStreetMap has already changed the face of mapping, and it continued its march on today as a potential main data source for a real-time navigation application." - Jan, 2011 mapquest developer blog " when we announced our increased engagement with the open mapping community and the hiring of Steve Coast into Bing Maps, we mentioned that Bing Maps would be donating some of its imagery to OpenStreetMap (OSM) for their community to use.
