If you just want something that will show a georeferenced and your
current look at viking and gpsd.  I am not sure if it does
georerferenced pdf, but am 99% sure it will do geotiff.  I use it with
openstreetmap TMS for looking at tracks.

I don't know if any of that works on windows, but with cygwin/X I would
expect it would.  Maybe someone knows of a less-posixy approach.

You probably could just run qgis and use live gps, but that may be too
heavy for your win7-32 box.

Your subject said "mobile" which usually means phone/tablet.  Not what
you asked, but there are various qgis-world apps: input, qfield, SMASH
that might do you what want, and Trail Sense on android, which can just
about do georeferenced pdf, if the pdf is in web mercator, but I'm
having a hard time with qgis-produced maps.

Also not what you asked, but if anyone knows of a command-line tool to
just print out the georeferencing information from a pdf and check it
for conformance, please let me know, and it could be useful to Josh in
debugging next steps too.
