Map Server Test Page up

I have fixed my firewall and my demo pages should now be available to all (I've
had a couple people tell me they were successful at browsing the pages). Once
again the URL is:

24.5.14.144
http://cx570538-a.elcjn1.sdca.home.com

If you're wondering why it's a strange URL or IP: I'm on a cable modem (1MB/sec.
connection) using IP masquerading and forwarding on Red Hat Linux 6.0. Even
though I have 3 legitimate web sites, none of them are located on my home
machine and doing it this way gave me a free and easy method for testing without
having to ftp changes all the time.

Question:

Is there a resource for up to date, low cost (or free) map databases? One of the
issues my company has is the availability of current map data for the United
States. MapQuest provides it for $20,000/year (and an additional $50,000 for the
map server!). If I can find a low cost solution, that'd be great.
