Just seconding that Avenza PDF Maps has proved to be a very useful application for our researchers who need offline data collection on our their reference basemaps. Very simple to create data capture schemas, and works well across multi-user editing. Free version is good enough for a few maps, but the expanded pay version is quite affordable, compared to other solutions, too.

This makes a simple to use mobil solution that does not require an intenet connection Kirk On 9/10/2021 2:02 PM, Greg Troxel wrote: 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.
