I do some consulting work for another forestry company - maybe I can add
more info to the good info you've gotten.
* 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.
* 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).
* 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.
* I ended up adding PostGIS into the mix - but that's a longer story
for another time.
It's doable - it will be a learning curve (and some head scratching) but
you'll be pretty happy with QGIS I think.

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.
