Is there any open API to get map tiles based on some coordinates? I would like to be able to download them (or even one tile) using HTTP in any image format.

You can get open street map tiles. They are 256×256 Png files. They have a good article on converting lat / long to tiles numbers in about 10 different languages. It explains CloudMade, MapQuest, and Migurski as well. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slippy_map_tilenames
