2 more suggestions:

OpenStreetMap API: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6

Mobile Maps: https://labs.ericsson.com/apis/mobile-maps/ (powered by Idevio with map data provided by OpenStreetMap)

1. Microsoft Maps API: http://www.microsoft.com/maps/developers/web.aspx
2. Yahoo Maps API: http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/

To name a few, unless I totally misunderstood your question.

I would have a look at the Openstreetmap stuff http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android especially this http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmdroid a replacement for Androids Map View

For your iOS project you could use Route-Me (link). This is an open source framework that pretty much provides the same functionality as MapKit, but allows to integrate different map sources (e.g. Open Street Map, Cloudmade etc.). As far as I know, this is the only alternative you have on iOS.

For Android, there are various alternatives that allow you to use alternate map sources. See this link for a good list of options.
