From this site you can download maps of Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Morocco, Ethiopia, Central America, India and Vietnam, that have been generated from OpenStreetMap project data and are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license, which lets you copy, distribute and modify the data.
For each area, maps to be installed on a PC or on a Garmin GPS or navigator are supplied. All maps are routable and for some areas a topographic version is also supplied.
OpenStreetMap is a collaborative project which aims to create a map of the Planet with free geographic data and offers it to anyone who want it. Data are submitted by thousands of volunteers who add data (roads, POI's, rivers, etc.) collected with gps receivers from the areas we visit or are drawn on aerial imagery. Everyone can participate in OpenStreetMap and add information to the map.
Although more complete each day, OpenStreetMap project is unfinished. So you will probably find areas not mapped or even with errors. The good new is that you can correct this gaps by yourself. If you want to join us, here you have a Beginners' guide. You'll see how easy it is!
