OpenMaps for the iPhone is gonna do a bangup job with this task. [...] Download OpenMaps!
This app makes openstreetmaps awesome. It looks and feels like a real iPhone app and in terms of functionality is even better than google maps. The app can download whole areas to the device which is useful for iPod touch users.
Whomever developed this app has got almost everything right; works like a treat, and is so simple and easy to use.
Yep, worth every penny. Complete access to all of the openstreetmap mapping - which is surprisingly good.
