= Node Map Solutions =

What are good free alternatives to Google Maps which we are currently [http://nodes.wlan-lj.net/nodes/map using] for our node map but would like to change it to something else. But does anything else have also aerial photos which really help when trying to position node precisely? What are experiences with [http://www.openstreetmap.org/ OpenStreetMap]?

So, maybe we could first made a list of all our node map solutions:
 * [https://nodes.wlan-si.net/nodes/map wlan slovenija] has a very simple one with real-time status and filtering options
 * [http://db.hannover.freifunk.net/map Freifunk Node Database] has a map based on [http://www.openstreetmap.org/ OpenStreetMap] and [http://openlayers.org/ OpenLayers]:
   * Main layer is generated from static data from the database with [http://github.com/knox/map_layers map_layers] plugin for Rails.
   * Additional live layer currently beeing created by external script ([http://lists.olsr.org/pipermail/olsr-dev/2008-August/002369.html cgi-bin-map.kml]). It processes olsrd's ''/var/run/latlon.js'' ([http://olsr.org/git/?p=olsrd.git;a=blob;f=lib/nameservice/src/mapwrite.c;hb=HEAD mapwrite.c]). Rewrite of live layer in ruby with filtering and caching on todo list.
 * Netmon has a [http://netmon.freifunk-ol.de/map.php map] based on [http://openlayers.org/ OpenLayers] that uses [http://openstreetmap.org/ OpenStreeMap], [http://maps.google.de Google Maps] and [http://www.bing.com/maps/ Bing Maps].
   * Main layers are provided by Netmons API as kml file wich are generated by Netmon from the database:
     * [http://netmon.freifunk-ol.de/api.php?class=apiMap&section=getOfflineServiceKML]
     * [http://netmon.freifunk-ol.de/api.php?class=apiMap&section=getOnlineServiceKML]
