Combine MacTopos USA maps with your Garmin Topo maps. Using Garmin Topo maps? While they work well on your GPS receiver, for an unparalleled level of detail on your Mac you should use our MacTopos maps. You can see the difference in these un-retouched screen captures of the same location on a Garmin Topo U.S. 100K map and a MacTopos USA map. I use it on a Windows PC and Linux (runs under Java, so should also work on Mac). The free version has good random map generation, but also a good choice of tiles to create your own from scratch. The paid version lets you zoom in on a hex (or range of hexes) to add more detail to a specific area, also an option to import an image (such as an.

- 2OpenStreetMap applications
- 4Libraries for developers
OpenStreetMap.org
The most basic way to use OpenStreetMap on your Mac is to open http://www.openstreetmap.org/ in a Web browser such as Safari. The iD editor embedded on the website supports basic editing of OpenStreetMap, but you may find a desktop editor to be much more convenient for more advanced editing, such as imports.
OpenStreetMap applications
The following applications rely on OpenStreetMap for core functionality, so they’re good ways to use OpenStreetMap on your Mac.
Viewing maps
These applications focus on viewing various OpenStreetMap-based maps. Some of them also allow you to cache maps for offline usage.
- LiveMapViewer – live changeset viewer

Editing the map
In addition to the Web editors iD and Potlatch 2, the following editors can be installed as Mac applications:
- JOSM - Java OpenStreetMap Editor. See JOSM/Mac for mac specific notes. Very uncommon user interface, most known Mac shortcuts won’t work with JOSM.
Working with GPS tracks
Using these applications, you can convert and upload your GPS tracks to OpenStreetMap to help you add features to the map.
- BT747 - software to interact with GPS loggers, displays tracks on top of OSM.
- GpsPrune - Shows tracks on top of OSM maps and allows editing of the points, as well as converting between formats.
- GPXSee - GPX, TCX, FIT, KML, IGC and NMEA viewer and analyzer with various OSM-based map sources.
- Maps4Mac and offline browser for OSM maps with GPS support.
- Mkgmap - Converts OSM data into maps that can be loaded onto Garmin GPS devices. Requires Java 1.5.
- RubiTrack - Designed for organizing and tracking your sports activity. Import from several Garmin devices and iPhone. Can export GPX files. Version 1.x still uses Google Maps for tracking. Since Version 2.0 OSM Data can be also viewed.
Recording GPS tracks

These applications allow you to record your movement as GPS tracks:

These applications also use OpenStreetMap in some fashion:
- iPhoto can be converted to use OSM in place of Google Maps
- TrailRunner - Route planning software for many sport acitivities like running, biking or hiking. Exports routes to your iPod or cellphone. TrailRunner actually is donationware.
