Map App For Mac Os X
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.

The following applications rely on OpenStreetMap for core functionality, so they’re good ways to use OpenStreetMap on your Mac.
Viewing maps
Maps For Mac Os X
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.

Applications using OpenStreetMap
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.

Utilities for contributors
- GPSBabel - Tool for converting various data formats to the .GPX format.
- gpsies.com, online converter and route portal, converts also Garmin TCX / CRS files to GPX. Submission to OpenStreetMap is possible.
- LoadMyTracks – Loads and sends data to GPS Devices. Support for several Garmin (USB and serial), Globalsat, Lowrence, Magellan (USB and serial), Timex, TomTom and Sony devices. GPS and KML export.
- RubiTrack Support direct import from Garmin (including TCX). Also has embedded GPSBabel for other formats. Can export GPX. Currently doesn't use OSM as source of maps (just Google), but developers say that OSM will be later.

Garmin BaseCamp is a nice (and free!) software for viewing maps, managing geographic data, and planning routes. There are maps offered by Garmin and there are also free alternatives, usually based on the OpenStreetMap project. BaseCamp for Mac OS X uses a specific format—it’s usually a file ending with gmapi. Sometimes the free maps are not offered in this format, so you first have to convert them. As I always forget how this works, I created this page.

OpenMTB maps
OpenMTBMap is a project based on OpenStreetMap which offers detailed hiking and mountainbiking information. You can download a map for free here. In the following guide I have chosen the Alps map.
Requirements
You will need a Windows computer (sorry, but I don’t know any other way) with the following free tools installed:
Map installation
Copy the downloaded file
Click on Next and select Mapsource-Qlandkarte_GT as layout. Choose a directory where you want the map to be installed, e.g., the default one
mtbalps.exe
to the Windows computer and start it.Click on Next and select Mapsource-Qlandkarte_GT as layout. Choose a directory where you want the map to be installed, e.g., the default one
C:Gaminopenmtbmapalps
. You should now be able to see the map in Garmin BaseCamp.Map conversion
Start Garmin MapConverter and select the just installed map. For the Alps map it is called
FAMILY_6528
. For other OpenMTB maps it will be called differently. You should be able to guess the family id by looking at the beginning of the file names in the installation directory of the map. Click Next and select an installation directory, e.g., the default one C:Garmin
. After conversion is finished there should be a directory called FAMILY_6528.gmapi
. This can be directly imported into Garmin BaseCamp on Mac OS X: simply copy this directory to you Mac computer, start Garmin MapManager and install it. Finished.As a last step, I recommend uninstalling the map on your Windows computer. Go to the installation directory
C:Gaminopenmtbmapalps
and execute openmtbmap_alps_uninstall
.Garmin IMG format
Assume we have a map
map.img
in Garmin’s IMG format.Requirements
You will need a Windows computer with the following free tools installed:
First step (GMapTool)
Copy the map
map.img
to your Windows computer. Start GMapTool.Click on Add Files and select
map.img
.Go to the tab Options, select MapTk, and select the directory where MapTk is installed.
Go to the tab Split. Select some empty directory where you want to save the parts of
map.img
created by GMapTool.1 Select Compile preview map and enter some name describing your map. Select Set mapset FID and enter the FID and PID of your map. You should be able to get these numbers when you click on Info in the Files tab of GMapTool. Otherwise, try some random number between 100 and 9999 for FID.Now, click on Split all. The process should hopefully finish without error messages. If so, you can close all windows and GMapTool.
Second step (Garmin MapConverter)
With the Windows explorer go to the directory you selected in GMapTool for the splitting process. Right click on
install.bat
and select Run as administrator. You should now be able to see your map in Garmin BaseCamp under Windows. Now, start Garmin MapConverter. Select your map (the one with the FID you have chosen above) and click Next. Choose some directory. After the conversion is done, there should be a directory called FAMILY_FID.gmapi
inside the directory you have chosen (where FID is your FID). This file can be used for Garmin BaseCamp under Mac OS X: simply copy it to your Mac OS X computer and install it using Garmin MapManager.I suggest uninstalling the maps under Windows. Go to the directory of the split process you selected in GMapTool. Right click on uninstall.bat and select Run as administrator.
- In case you use Parallels, this directory should lie on the Windows drive since in the next step we have to execute a batch script with administrator rights and this does not work on a remote drive.
