APRSISCE for Windows Mobile and Win32 currently uses OpenStreetMap.org
maps automatically and on-the-fly. I've got a ToDo for myself to
support UI-View's map/inf approach, but that's lower on my priority list
than many other features.
There's no pre-loading of maps, no coordinate pinning, and you can pan
and zoom anywhere in the world with the map tiles being automatically
fetched and displayed. If there's a favorite feature or landmark
missing in your area, sign up at OpenStreetMap.org and enhance the map!
As the client is currently APRS-IS-only, it relies on an unlimited
Internet connection anyway, so fetching tiles on the fly is not an
impact. I do plan to support a view-based prefetch (tiles are already
cached) for off-line use shortly after releasing the KISS TNC supporting
version.

PS. If you want to see who's already running the clients, add
"u/APWW*/APWM*" to your filter string in your current APRS-IS client.
