Ok, perhaps the wrong place for this post but maybe not. Does anyone know of any decent mapping software available for the Mac? Something similar to M$ Streets & Trips that can print, and has push pins and editing capability?
The only thing available as far as I know is Route 66, and it is an extremely poor app. I have it, and though it works, it is really rudimentary. I was a user of Delorme Street Atlas, and loved it, but alas, Delorme decided to quit supporting macs. There was even a petition at one time to Delorme to continue support. Unfortunately, for those of us who want maps while not online, there is nothing suitable. At least as far as I know. If someone does know of something worthwhile, I hope they will post it here.
If you want GPS mapping, there are a few -- Route Buddy comes to mind. But it does not do what the other programs you are asking about will do. You need the GPS coordinates to use it, not just be able to enter an address, etc.

Yeah I have Route 66 as well, and it's crap, but it basically does the job, and again as far as I know it's the only thing out there. You could always use Streets and Trips through VMWare's Fusion or through Parallels. In fact why not test how it performs in CrossOver?

Google earth is not the only Peice of Software like it. I know of several others, but seeing as I dont know there names and there on computers at school, I cant give you any titles. Another option is just using Google Maps and Apple-Shift-4 ing the window to take a screen shot. And, If you must sink to the bottom, Use a paper one.
now a days ..the GPRS mapping guide lines are really gud for us ..
