If its only that, you may any free geo tool where you can adjust maps to
lat/lon coordinates and read out the lat/lon from them. Then you don't
ever use Google for anything.


Are the maps already projected to some common reference system? If yes,
what system?


May I assume that nobody can say anything against searching his own house
on a public domain satelite picture, grabbing lat/lon using a free tool
and enter this into free databases as OSM?


Ciao, Imi.

PS: Not yet, but sometime (maybe this year, maybe before november) JOSM
will support exact this: import pictures and fine adjust until the
coordinates are correct.
