OsmAnd, in F-Droid, allows to download small parts of the whole  
OpenStreetMap (like in tens or hundreds of MB): http://osmand.net


I do not know any GNU/Linux (rather than Android) application that does that.

Marble does that.

I have OsmAnd on my Replicant tablet, it's pretty good :)

I am sure it is possible to download the whole map onto your computer, but  
that would be enormous, probably several hundred gigabytes.

Another GNOME map application using OpenStreetMap is Emerillon which is  
available in the repos.

I tried Marble and I'm really happy with it.

I'll give Okular a try - thanks for the recommendation lembas.

Are you saying that they are stopping unity?

If you're looking for a mapping program that can let you do complex spatial  
analyses, adding various layers, etc., consider QGIS. It is the alternative  
to the proprietary ArcGIS from ESRI.

If I install Marble, will it install a lot of the KDE desktop packages too?

No.

Marble is easy to use and at the same time a swiss army-knife for maps:

http://de.slideshare.net/marbleglobe/marble-1-6en

describes a few important features. Caching for map data happens on the fly  
and is configurable. You can also download whole regions in advance - either  
along a user-specified route or a whole chosen area. So Marble is also  
perfect for offline-usage. You can also use Marble for GPS tracking, import  
KML  GPX files and you can query routes. On the other hand Marble is also  
the perfect tool for education since it comes with a dozen ready-made maps  
about various topics (and additionally you can download  30 high-quality  
maps about different subjects.

Marble is listed along with a few others that support open street maps here:

Marble is great, I am very pleased to have found out about it. It is better  
than Google Maps in some ways, it has features that Google does not

Re: [Trisquel-users] maps program

[mikko . viinamaki]

This would seem to suggest you can download maps for offline usage.

There are offline programs using OSM data, like Marble in KDE.

I tested it a little bit a while ago and recognized that it doesn't save the  
whole map on your disc but loads every new area from the net;
I'm afraid your data will be transmitted in this way and it's not really  
better than SaSS

GNOME Maps will come as a preview with GNOME 3.10, but I think Ubuntu
14.04 might be shipping GNOME 3.8.

GNOME 3.10 was released in September. GNOME 3.12 will release in March 2014.
Probably Ubuntu will shipping GNOME 3.10.
