see this is the best i have found, however i need it to be able to work without wifi. and honestly streets and trips is much much better for what i do. i use it for calculating my routes driving a auto transport semi. and there is lots of places that my wireless card dosnt work.

looks better, but also needs wifi.
yes. unfortunately the map software doesn't like Macs. DeLorme used to make great map software but they dropped Mac support long ago. I'd love to have some standalone maps for OSx, but haven't found any.
feel free to suggest your solution
it would seem that there simply is no map program worth a crap that is for a mac.... running it thru windows seems like my only option.
If you run in Bootcamp, there is no real lag. For a mapping program, a VM would be fine since you aren't gaming. Can you point to an OSx standalone mapping program? I've searched over time and never found one. Windows apps are available, OSx apps are not. If you have a better solution why not tell us what it is.

But the OP is looking for an OSx app, not IOS.

Check out Crossover, to see if your app is in the list. If so, you don't need a windows licence.
