Well this is a mapmaking forum, and if you are serious then you really need Global Mapper. It is an amazing program which is worth every penny.

But if you don't want or need it, that's fine too....

Good news is you are using geoPDF's! Just got an e-mail from Global Mapper and version 11 has just been released. Includes support for geoPDF's and lots of other new features, including a 64-bit native version. See: http://globalmapper.com/product/download_complete.htm

At those prices, Garmin Topo seems cheap.

No thank you.

Garmin's TOPO is kinda cheap, if you find the coverage adequate and lack of detail acceptable. Work fast and you can use Global Mapper 11 for free for two weeks: http://www.globalmapperforum.com/myblog/global-mapper-11-beta.html

Here is a temporary registration key so that you can try everything out in the beta for 14 days:
