I want to create an image (it doesn't have to be high resolution) that uses the contour map data of the Cycle Map layer, and includes my personal track data from a KML or GPX file. I thought I could download an OSM file of the region and then use some Mac app to view the OSM data as a map, and then import my KML/GPX data to show my track on top of the map ... and then just do a screen grab of the result (that's the resolution level that would do for the moment). However, I can't seem to find an app that will allow me to do this easily. I tried JOSM (not having used it before), but when I imported the .osm file that I had downloaded from the Cycle Map layer on openstreetmap.org it didn't show the contours nor look as nice. Is there a Mac app that will take a .osm file and show it in the style of the Cycle Map layer, and which will allow me to import a KML or GPX track on top? Thanks in advance. asked 22 Feb '16, 08:02  DrSamCarter edited 22 Feb '16, 20:05  aseerel4c26 ♦ |

You can use GPS Visualizer with the opencyclemap as a background and you can import your gpx track/s and you can share it with others. answered 22 Feb '16, 09:01  nevw 1 Thank you. GPS Visualiser looks like it will do the trick. :-) (22 Feb '16, 11:47) DrSamCarter |
A possible alternative is GPS Prune, it will run on Win PCs and some macs you will need to install Java for it to run. answered 22 Feb '16, 22:42  andy mackey It's here activityworkshop.net/ (22 Feb '16, 22:43) andy mackey |
Garmin Basecamp ( which is free ) will display an OSM on Garmin downloaded map (also free) and your GPX trace. It runs on Windows and Macs. Installing Basecamp and getting a map installed will take more time than Prune and Java method in my other answer but if you have a Garmin Gps it has some advantages. Note you don't have to have a Garmin device to use it. answered 22 Feb '16, 22:58 andy mackey www8.garmin.com/learningcenter/training/basecamp https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download (22 Feb '16, 23:03) andy mackey |
I tried myOSM, which shows the maps fine but it doesn't seem to import a GPX file despite having this as a menu function.
