I'm going to be looking into OSM because of comments here. I've also looked at MapBox but last time I tried the mobile web experience was basically unusable (although Google Maps isn't great either).

Do you have other suggestions?

Can you elaborate on this? Our goal is to be exactly the opposite of this -- to be eminently usable. So I'm curious what you're seeing specifically.
(Sorry, rereading what I wrote makes it sound pretty slanderous). Not sure if you'll be doubling back on this, but I thought I'd respond anyway. I was talking about the mobile web experience, specifically on Android.

I was playing with the MapBox SDK roughly a year ago and I remember having a lot of trouble at the time panning and zooming. This was on a Droid X. So gave up on it at the time, even though I thought the desktop experience was so great.

Anyway, I just tested again, and whatever I was seeing before is not there. I'll give MapBox another shot.
