offline viewing opencyclemaps

priory

I downloaded a couple of areas of spain to my minilaptop with windows 7 os. What program will view them as maps? All I have managed so far is opening them to view the code.

do you mean gpx files - they are just xml files. you cab upload gpx files to www.mapmyride.com (you have to register)for example and see thems in full glory on line to view or share with other folks

I think that Open Cycle Maps (http://www.opencyclemap.org/) is a spin off of Open Street Maps.

According to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Offline_Openstreetmap

Using the data offline
You can use Openstreetmap for lots of things, but Routing is the most important one. There is two tools for this Navit and Gosmore. You can download Openstreetmap maps packs for navit which were prepared by CloudMade.

For caching tiles on your computer and then be able to browse the map offline, you can also use:
- Gosm (Linux)
- Marble

Also have a look at
- OpenStreetMap-in-a-Box
- Maps on a Stick
- MapFactor_Navigator_Free
- MoNav

Garmin BaseCamp software allows you to view OSM off-line as well.

Is that any help?
