According to OSM's wiki
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Getting_Involved#Recording_tracks_using_a_GPS_receiver
Step 5), it would be a copyright violation to use Google Maps in any
way to fill data into OSM.  OSM insists in their guides that you note
street names while you're traveling, since looking them up after the
fact would constitute copyright violation.
