Is there any Maps API to change street name on particular map?

Question

Is it possible to allow user to change the name of the streets in embedded map? Does any API provide such feature? For example, I want to allow users to make their 'alternative map' and get link to it.

With OpenStreetMap this is possible of course but requires some work and suitable hardware. You have to server your own tiles and provide access to the underlying database with the help of one of the many different editors or via a custom solution. If you don't want to serve the whole world you can also fill your database with one of the available extracts.
