I think it's safe to say that the quality of the data in Iceland is very high. The amount of data is, however, somewhat limited.
For general street navigation I think it is pretty good, I guess about 90-95% of paved streets in Iceland are already on the map and quite a bit of gravel roads as well. As for any serious hiking, I have to recommend a topographic map with better coverage of natural features than what OSM has to offer (We are working on improving that!). There is a free Garmin map of Iceland available here: http://www.ourfootprints.de/gps/mapsource-island_e.html, and you can also get some high quality commercial maps for Garmin GPS's (they are expensive though, costing about 110 Euros ). I hope that helps.
