WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
A more advanced way that allows you to load any city and place them anywhere on the canvas would be via console API. This page has an example that shows how to render both Seattle and Tokyo next to each other
StreetComplete - small android app that makes it easy to add missing informations like surface, speed limits or cycle ways
OpenRailwayMap - the worlds railway infrastructure on one map
OsmAnd - very advanced but strange GUI, shows public transport and hiking symbols, opening hours, etc, has routing, downloads offline wikipedia articles to objects, Android and iOS (less functions)
As for Foxboro, MA vs Foxborough, MA you are right again. The name resolution comes from Nominatim service, in one case it gives a hamlet, in the other it is an administrative unit
It is based on OpenStreetMap - wikipedia of maps
btw: 3 of the listed routing services are based on the GraphHopper open source routing engine: https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper
