Does anyone know of an easy to use viewer for .pbf (not pdf) files? They might be good for use on a laptop (and other devices?) when there is no sat or cell service.

If there's a better free option I'm all ears. :)

Cheers
 
Cheers,
I want to be able to view maps (with detail similar to good topographic paper maps) using the laptop - without the need for a network connection. Hopfully in a way that allows zooming out to show statewide areas and zooming in to show detail down to firetrails and sheds and topography if possible.

Cheers again,
Mike
 
I posted a similar enquiry on Whirlpool and, thanks to your comment and the one I got there, am starting to get the impression that there are easier/more appropriate ways than .pbf.

Cheers
 
Yes, I did have a quick look at that this morning but wasn't too sure if it was current or good info. and so I posted my questions to try to find out what people 'on the ground' use.
That's a good page though, and well worth a reread (which I'll be doing).
Thanks :)
