QGIS is very useful and open source (as in free).
Nothing specific for fiber mapping in it but it could pretty easily be
used for it if I was ambitious enough to put all the info in.

For basic needs, the advantage of doing mapping using Google Earth
Pro is that most "serious" GIS packages support import and export
to/from the XML format Google Earth uses. A line on the map on Google
Earth or a multi-segmented line is just a collection of vector
placemarks in a XML file with lat/long coordinates, with metadata
describing the thickness of the line, the color of the line, how many
intermediate points are on the line, and so forth.
The best organizational advice I can give is to use folders and
subfolders in Google Earth Pro appropriately to sort projects, so
that you don't end up with a single folder that contains 500 unnamed
lines. Might look fine when viewed on a map but can become an
organization nightmare.

Last topic I see on this was from 2014. So maybe it’s time to
review and ask again? What are you guys using for fiber mapping,
now in 2018?
In 2014 I read:
Craig was doing google earth and excel sheets.
Chuck Hogg was using Manifold (kinda), and some Google Maps Engine.
Mike H was using ArcMap for his clients.
A few other google sheets.
What’s changed, what’s new, what’re you using today? Same as
before? Something different? Why?
