Try looking at OpenStreetMap(OSM) you can upload your trips and they can be used to build a 'free' map. (for USA see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/US). I use JOSM to update the map. I'm working on OSM in UK and trying to use dabo to maintain a database of photos by position (long/lat). I've created a very simple map viewer with Dabo.
