Mapstraction is a library that provides a common API for various javascript mapping APIs to enable switching from one to another as smoothly as possible. Developers can code their applications once, and then easily switch mapping provider based on project needs, terms and conditions, and new functionality.
Mentioned by the fine people at Nestoria, it just so happens Google Maps might not (always) be the best tool for your project; or that a different API releases a new feature that absolutely fits into your product. The only down side to mapstraction? Can't really see an obvious one to be honest. Read, use, enjoy.
