this is a very good question.

THere are at least 2 projects I know related to this question, and
that go in the direction of wikipedia: aka, the users are collecting
the datas with their gps to build collectively the maps

See upct.org and  ... (another one bases on mediawiki that I do not
remember now and cannot find; I'll look for it)

good luck and thanks.

As they make a good fortune selling their data, I doubt they are ready
to open source anything.

But you may try.

Thanks,

Nicolas
