I do some consulting work for another forestry company - maybe I can
add more info to the good info you've gotten. <br>
<ul>
<li>I doubt that QGIS will be able to pull in your Xmap projects.
If you can export your data as txt files you can pull that info
into QGIS. </li>
<li>The group I work with was using DNR GPS to push and pull data
from their GPS Units. With the newer Garmin units you can copy a
GPX file to the unit (like a USB drive). I replaced DNR GPS with
QGIS (we just create a GPX file and copy it). <br>
</li>
<li>We generate all the Plots and digitize the stand information
using QGIS - when I started working with them, they were a
arcivew shop. QGIS would do everything and more than Arcview.
Plus it saved them licensing costs over the long haul. <br>
</li>
<li>I ended up adding PostGIS into the mix - but that's a longer
story for another time. </li>
</ul>
<p>It's doable - it will be a learning curve (and some head
scratching) but you'll be pretty happy with QGIS I think. <br>

<div dir="ltr">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.
