If you are in the US you could talk to Chris over at OpenPlans

They used to expose the TIGER streets in a nice WMS using Geoserver. You can
then just make a WMS call and get back a .png or .jpg

Subject: [Geowanking] Map Image APIs

 

Hey guys,

 

Im working on a free mobile app and I am trying to find a FREE API that
meets the following criteria. Does anyone know of one that fits??

-          Returns a single image - no JS or HTML. It's a mobile app so we
can only show images. We should be able to specify the dimensions and the
zoom level

-          Multiple points place on the map - the Yahoo Image API
automatically places a star in the middle of the image, we would like to be
able to show a list of results or have a blank image so that we can map our
own results on top

-          Routing? Does anyone offer route tracing in a free service? Not
critical, but just curious.

 

I guess in general I wanted to kick off a discussion of the available
Mapping APIs (free and not free) that work for mobile devices.

 

Thoughts?
