Does anyone know of a good Android app which lets you view GeoPDF files and see your location on said files? I have a lot of GeoPDFs containing good quality topographic maps (courtesy of my state government) and would like to be able to use them better.
Avenza Maps is basically the sort of thing I’m after but it won’t let me see location on more than three of my own maps at a time, and while there are free topo maps available on their store I find these maps (produced by GetLost) are less readable than the NSW gov maps. Avenza do have a pro version which allows full usage of more than three GeoPDFs but I’m rather against the idea of paying a subsciption of $60 p/a (AUD) for the privilege.
I’m ok with suggestions for paid apps that might suit if it’s a one off payment rather than a subscription.
Edit: What I’ve been doing so far is using an old version of Avenza Maps from when it was still called PDF Maps and didn’t have the restriction on number of non-store maps, but since that obviously has issues with long term viability it’d be nice to find a current alternative.
Never heard of geopdf but i found this:

So you can convert your files with qgis (free) on a computer and than have a broader selection of apps like locusgis. You could also try locus (non gis) or osmand which is foss.
Thanks for the idea, looks like converting them might open up some more options for viewing. I’m only intending to view already created maps rather than creating data so I don’t need GIS suite functionality once I get the maps on the phone (really only need geolocation, marker points etc are nice but not necessary), viewing as an OsmAnd layer sounds promising if I could get that to work easily for multiple files.
