Platform Specific
macOS
OMN4 on macOS gives you the desktop version of the map screen, separate tool windows, and printing support in a Mac workflow.
What's Different On macOS
- Search, Settings, Routes, Tracks & Waypoints, and Points Explorer can open separately from the main map screen.
- Printing is supported on macOS and is mainly a desktop workflow.
- Route planning and long-track review are easier on a larger display, especially when you need to keep the map and a tool window visible together.
- GPX work uses the same documented import and export concepts as Windows. See GPX Import and Export for the user-facing actions and mobile differences.
macOS is a good place to plan and review before taking routes, tracks, and waypoints into the field on iPhone, iPad, or Android.
Setup And Platform Settings
Install OMN4 using the Mac install route supplied by Anquet, then sign in and let the first sync finish. The install flow is covered in Install on macOS.
Offline maps are still stored per device. A Mac needs its own downloads even when route, track, waypoint, and supported settings data have synced from another device. Use Map Management to download map data and Storage and Verification if you need to understand local storage or verify downloaded files.
What To Watch For
- Let sync finish before judging whether route changes from another device are missing.
- Do not delete downloaded map data as a first response to missing subscriptions or map access. Check sign-in, sync, and Map Management first.
- If you prepare GPX files on macOS for use elsewhere, review GPX Import and Export so you know which actions preserve files, folders, and export scope.
- For printed maps, check scale, layout, and coverage before relying on a paper copy.
