Not sure, what we need a map API is in Emacs' core for but...
The code could be used with openstreetmap.org maps, too. This is, what
I play with currently to create images from tracks I run (I use my own
simple code on http://github.com/SebastianRose/org-osm).
OSM maps offer much more detail in lots of places (cycle paths,
footpahts, stores, phone booths...).
Both, OSM and google, use Mercator maps and 256x256 tiles. OSM maps
start at the date border, just like google maps. The only difference is
in the URL for a map tile.
