Is OpenMapChest Legal, Safe, And Good Maps?
I like them, but I have only used United States maps from OpenMapChest.

OpenMapChest is based on OpenStreetMap data, thus it is perfectly legal. But define safe here.

I feel they are good, and have used them in older GPS receivers that didn't have lifetime map updates, but I have no need of them as I no longer use my receivers that don't have lifetime map updates.
