[Qgis-user] looking for mapping program

[Stefan Giese (WhereGroup)]

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
