Maptitude (caliper.com) is GIS software which uses proprietary GIS formats (*.cdf and *.dbd).

Maptitude *does* support native access to OSM data (map server tiles or *.osm files.) As a consequence, intermediate converters are not required to import the OSM data into compatible GIS formats (such as Shapefile or MapInfo TAB/MIF)

• Maptitude can import and export data in formats supported by most GIS software [1]

• Maptitude can work with ESRI Shapefiles. See the Shapefiles page for tools and data download sites

TODO:Provide more information/options for working with OpenStreetMap data

Using OSM Vector data in Maptitude

Maptitude supports many geospatial data formats for import, export, and natively. You can import vector OSM point, line, and area data by layer and feature type.

Using OSM tiles as a background layer in Maptitude

You could do this via a OSM WMS server.

Maptitude comes with an optional OpenStreetMap Tiles backdrop layer, accessible by a menu built into the main application interface.
