Smooth Open Street Maps For the iPhone 46
detrow writes "A number of projects are working on bringing a smooth Open Street Maps Viewer to the iPhone, where smooth means as smooth as the Google Maps application. Route-Me is one of them (New BSD License, complete Objective-C native code). The GPS Mission blog reports that their application (GPS Mission) uses Route-Me and made it to the App Store as the first application using that OSM component. The map looks real nice and behaves just like Google Maps with all the well known zooming and panning available. What other iPhone applications exist that feel as smooth as Google Maps but use the Open Street Map?"

This was an idea that I appreciated when I was testing out a TomTom - the ability to submit and fetch community-based feedback about road closures, detours, etc. For a variety of reasons I ended up choosing a Garmin for my nav needs, but I do wish they would implement some of the community based features.

What about Marble? (Score:0, Informative)
I don't know whether it runs on the IPhone. But Marble is an awesome application that allows smooth zooming and panning. And it's free software (LGPL):

Marble comes with lots of nice features (even with a somewhat hidden GPS support):

It's available for a lot of different plattforms (Linux, Windows, Mac OS X) and the source code
just depends on Qt as a single dependency.
