I've just committed a new module http://drupal.org/project/nicemap that we've been working with internally here at Development Seed. The Module is basically just a WMS client, with a views plugin. So it allows you to use WMS servers, like mapserver and mapnik to generate your maps (try http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi ). Hopefully this module will give people a useful alternative to google maps.
I've tested it successfully with lat/lon data stored in simple cck decimal fields and the location module, and I'd really like to get geo module support as well.
I'm excited to hear if this is useful to anyone else, and, as usual, patches are welcome!

The example maps are stunning. I'd love to get my hands on a working version of this module. Does it play nicely with views?

Thanks! The version in CVS
Thanks! The version in CVS does work with views. If you know cvs you can check it out now, otherwise can expect a tarball to be offered soon.
You can see an example of how to get the module working here http://www.developmentseed.org/blog/2008/nov/18/hey-thats-nice-map-new-c...
