GMapCatcher, An Offline Google and OpenStreet Maps Viewer


GMapCatcher is an offline map viewer utility that allows users to view maps without a need of Internet connection once they are loaded. The application supports many different services:
The utility also allows you to download full maps to your hard disk. While it is fine with many services to download bulk maps, for some it may be against terms and conditions and the application will give a warning if it is so. However, you can always load the maps while you are online and view them later when you have no connectivity as they will be available for you without any need to download them.
