It would be great to support OpenStreetMap (OSM), since the data is (and will be) totally free. For more information/sensitization, read this section of OSM's FAQ

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FAQ#Why_don.27t_you_just_use_Google_Maps.2Fwhoever_for_your_data.3F

Also, OSM is yet a very well established collaborative project where huge amounts of people around the free software/open source/open data content world is collaborating or simply using it diary. Probably, if you have some problems managing the API, they will be very kind of giving some help, so don't doubt in post here any trouble.
