RouteMe: Free Slippy Map

We are currently testing an accelerometer-driven dynamic zooming map application and use RoutMe to display our map.

If you need a free slippy map view for your application, that is independent of Apple's MapKit then RouteMe is the right project for you: http://code.google.com/p/route-me/ .

RouteMe offers a great deal of flexibility as it can display maptiles from different sources such as OpenStreetMap, Google, Microsoft or your own custom tiles.

RouteMe still has some bugs and is in need of contributors, so if you are interested please contact the RouteMe project team.
