A project from my co-workers at Tagzania Services: EuskalMapa, the Basque Map. That is, a free OpenStreetMap based version of OSM showing Basque names for places. There's a similar project with Scottish Gaelic and it's called Osmalba.org
Tiles are generated with Basque names on them not fot the whole globe, but according to this logic:
- The whole planet: zooms 1-9
- Spain: zooms 10-13
- The Basque Country: zooms 13-17
Some examples:

- The area around Ezpeleta in the French side of the Basque Country, where our language has no official status at all.:

Argazkiak.org | Gasteizko alde zaharra © cc-by-sa: sustatu
Good to see that there's a Scottish Gaelic version (and good info on how to add names) - I wasn't surprised that a Basque project existed for some reason!
