Hi William,
Maybe have a look at Navit<http://www.navit-project.org/>, it is
actually a navigation program (for virtually any platform), but you
can view maps without using the nav functions.
It works with offline map data and you can use Navit's Planet
Extractor<http://maps.navit-project.org/> to download the data for a
specific area. Just a note on the maps though, it is derived from raw
OSM data, but is in Navit's own binary format. Some of the "detail"
gets discarded during the conversion process, especially data not
related to navigation, so wile being very similar, it is not quite as
detailed as raw OSM data.
Navit is very configurable, if you have the technical background to
understand the config file, you can make it look and feel the way you
want. You can even have a map
layout<http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Layout/mapnik> that
resembles Mapnik's style to a large extent.
For other options check out the
wiki<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Desktop>.

Hi Tomas,
I want to be able to view the data offline ( possibly raw data )
I like to take drives on weekends, to see new places
So having an offline map, on my laptop, I can look at alternate
routes, and also places to see
I am from Durban, driving anywhere in KZN should not take much more
than 3 hrs, which is perfect for a day of driving and site seeing
William

What do you mean by "OSM map"? Raw data? Some product created from
raw data (say garmin map, printable map etc.)?
And what do you suggest I need to Display/Use the Data
What do you want to do with the data?
