Hi Diane,
some thoughts to your question: QGIS would be a very good choice (or the
best!) and will be a substainable GIS for your company. You are writing
that there is only a txt export option? A quick view on the user guide
(http://static.garmin.com/pumac/XMap7Manual.pdf) shows, that xmap works
(can work) with databases and has a bulk export option, at least it can
export kml. So first, the migration process will depend on how your data
infrastrucure is organized. In general a migration process from one GIS
into an other can be a lot of work. as many GIS systems xmap distinguish
between projects (how your data is organized and displayed in the map)
and the spatial data itself. I suppose the export of the projects will
not be possible, whereas the data should not be that problem. May be it
will be worth to use the help from a GIS professional to manage the
migration process. This depends on your workflows and as described
before from the infrastructure of your data.
best regards
stefan

We currently use XMap 7 pro and are looking for a replacement package.
I need some feedback to see if QGIS is a good replacement. We also
need in the new package the ability to import the old projects from
XMap 7 pro which does not have an export option except txt format. We
are a forestry based company.
Any comments are welcome.
Diane Green
