Cartegan
It's what you get when you knit a map.
Cartegan is a tool for downloading tiles from popular map services - OpenStreetMap, Google (KeyHole), Yahoo (Nokia OVI), Bing (Virtual Earth), etc.
LEGAL WARNING: Cartegan doesn't give you the right to cache, resell, or redistribute the image tiles you download. OpenStreetMap does, but other providers may not. Contact your physician before prolonged use.
