Here is a list of all mapping software I know of which is useful for maintaining node maps for a community network. This does not include commercial applications which may or may not prove useful in the long run. -- AdamShand

BrisbaneMesh's software is one of the more advanced offerings out there. I have no idea what it is written but it seems to use a mixture of MapBlast and topographical data.
OpenMap is not OpenSource but does allow you access to the source. It's a java based tool which uses XML and other stuff. Looks interesting but is ugly like all java stuff is. http://openmap.bbn.com/
PersonalTelco's mapping software is maintained by JasonMcArthur, see NodeMap.
- NodeDB.com's software was based upon brismesh's software, with major revisions to the internal math functions and removal of all needed external binaries, covers to date 500 geographical areas world wide, and 10,000 node locations.
RadioMobile merges topographic data with a description of node equipment to generate coverage maps. Not easy to use, but great for line-of-sight checks and coverage maps.
http://www.kcwireless.net/index.cgi?CoverageMap has example coverage maps for KCWireless.
SeattleWireless mapping software is also a mystery. It uses topographical maps but has no way to manage node data via the web.
