I wonder whether there is a desktop app for offline viewing of Openstreetmap data. Something in which I'll put either planet dump or some of its excerpts (like one country or continent) and then I can view (and perhaps also search, route, measure distances, etc ....) the map.
Editors (josm, merkaartor, ...) are unusable for that (they can't process OSM data in size of entire countries, at least not with reasonable speeds) and it seems that most software on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software is mostly either for small devices (cellphones, PDA's) or require internet connection (since they fetch tiles from tileserver or something like that) Any tip for program, that will be suitable for offline viewing/searching/routing of OSM data on desktop PC (or larger notebook)? (I run Linux, though I may try using Wine for Windows programs ....)
