Wow! Thanks for the tip about QGIS. I have a degree in Geography and I got really good at ArcGIS in school but haven't touched it since because I didn't own a (reaaaaally expensive) license for it. I tried QGIS out just now and I'm totally blown away. I'm building a map of public lands in Utah for an off-road trip that I'm taking in a few weeks. I've never touched this software in my life but it only took a shapefile downloaded from the State of Utah GIS folks and about 20 minutes to make something pretty with QGIS:

I did all of this from my ThinkPad running Arch Linux and with a HiDPI display. Everything just worked out-of-the-box and looks beautiful. Awesome!
