There is nothing out of the box for wither solution. Is this a development question? Do you mean Bing Maps integration? I have done several implementations but am not clear on what you are trying to achieve.

I don't know anything about Open Street maps, but reading the documentation it appears similar, for example you can use a URL to address a map: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=30.2672&lon=-97.7431&zoom=12&layers=M
This is more of a developer question and likely more appropriate if you ask it of the Open Street Community.
As for what is better Google or Bing, you will have to decide that for yourself. Each has it's strengths and weaknesses, and different licenseing.
i suggest you look at how you are currently implementing Google (IFrame, REST, etc.) and see if Open Street will do the same. There is really nothing SharePoint specific about the question.
