Are you looking for something to display this data in a web browser, like Leaflet, or something for larger datasets, like Mapnik and/or TileMill?

How to use Mapnik? If I want to display the map with other functions just like google map, such as zoom, what can i do ?

Hi jantong and tataT9, For your tasks Openlayers framework would be suitable. Link for the docs : http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers-js.html

Thank you for your advice. I want to use the data of OSM offline, but Openlayers need to connect to the tile server. Is there a project can do this for windows, Just like mapsforge for android?

A certain collection of possibilities are listet at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Offline_Openstreetmap but it can be outdated.

Also have a look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Desktop and investigate the tables there about offline data display or tile display.
