GMapCatcher

GMapCatcher ( http://code.google.com/p/gmapcatcher/ ) is a free utility which lets you download maps to your computer for offline viewing. The name implies google maps, but it supports other tile map services including OpenStreetMap

Tile services

listed in the user guide, the application has built in support (or helping people abuse) these OSM servers.

• "OpenStreetMap" (meaning our main Mapnik tile server)
• "InformationFreeway" (meaning the OpenStreetMap tiles@home server)

Usage of the app for these would likely be in breach of our Tile Usage Policy

OpenStreetMap renderings are also available via 3rd party tile services:

• OpenCycleMap - OSM renderings on Andy Allan's server (strictly no downloading!)
• CloudMade - OSM renderings on CloudMade's server (download limits & tarifs)

In addition to Yahoo, Virtual Earth, and Google Map Maker maps.

Development

Written in Python, and presented as an open source project on google code: http://code.google.com/p/gmapcatcher/
