Offline Desktop Client for OpenStreetMap on Linux

Question

The OpenStreetMap wiki shows many, many clients and I am not sure how to navigate it all.

I would want the features and appearance of the client to resemble the features and appearance of the online version as close as possible.

To be specific:

• Offline
• Must work natively on linux
• Querying
• Navigation (car, bicycle, foot)
• Map layers
• Decent graphics
• Easy setup
• Synchronize data

Does anyone know of an offline client for OpenStreetMap on Linux that they love?
