Hello Wuzzy,
I was wondering if there is some standalone application (preferable for PC) to view OSM data as a map, but dynamically and locally (not from some random computer on the Internet) rendered.
[...]
What I want is an application which renders OSM data directly and based on configurable user settings, i.e. switching on and off certain features (like country borders) is as simple as clicking a checkbox.
You build such a tool with libosmscout (libosmscout.sf.net). It is designed for offline mobile rendering, routing and location search. But of course desktop application can also be build :-)
Libosmscout allows you to generate a (local) database from a given *.osm.pbf file with a user definable content. You can then render the data in a map using a custom style which can render any subset of the data contained in the database. It would also allow you to modify the style sheet dynamically (at least this can be very easily added).
The current demo however only shows the main base features so this is not yet part of the demo, but a proof of concept should be very easy and quick to achieve.
