Mapping software for the Mac

For your purposes, Streets & Trips would be best, but you'd have to use a program to replicate it for use on a Mac. It's a great product, lots of features including shortest route, quickest route, best roads route.... time and distance. I love it and use it all the time on the road.

I generally just go to google maps. Google Earth is available for the Mac. I think it also does routings but I have not done it recently enough to remember for sure.

I just came across this site a few days ago. Never seen or tried it myself but it might be what you are looking for.

Please keep up posted !

 

I've tried a most of the Mac approaches to mapping over the years and have given up. None ever came close to Streets and Trips on a PC. I now run it under Parallels on my Mac.

 

It sounds like you are looking for street-level maps, but just FYI the National Geographic ToPo series is available for Macs and I've been using it for a couple of years - you can get an entire state's worth of 7.5 minute USGS quads in full color and seamless on your screen - plus you can upload/download waypoints/tracks/routes with ease and create an elevation profile and even see everything in 3d too - but since these are simply a scan of the USGS quads much of the info is outdated (some maps for the Arkansas backcountry where I live were last updated in the 1930's, which means there is some really interesting stuff on them!)...

 

Google Earth for the Mac will provide directions. Seems to do a really good job and seems to be pretty current.
