Hi All, Thanks for the help, I am going to look at JOSM and Navit, and if anything else might seem to do what I want

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>.
