It does still work.  I haven't tried the latest QGIS version, as far as printing, but you can definitely load the satellite imagery and overlay it with the PCD info from Paddle Planner.

I don't plan on printing maps for my upcoming BWCA trip in June, as I have upgraded my fish finder to one with a chart plotter function, a Lowrance Hook 4 model.  I used QGIS and a few other free software programs to create a zoomable satellite imagery map with the PCD layer from PP overlaid on top. When I put the crosshairs over the campsite it shows the condensed campsite info.  Likewise, the portages show the length in rods. There is a layer detailing the US/CAN border and the Quetico perimeter as well.

A couple more screen shots taken with the fish finder itself. You can really pick out some shallow structure areas and even downed trees to target for fishing.   :)

The pros of this are I don't have to spend money on paper and ink and the data is imbedded.  The cons are my maps only last as long as my battery and of course the weight of the battery.  I am using a Ryobi 9Ah Lithium battery to power the fish finder and I tested it at just shy of 30 hours runtime at full brightness.

If there is interest, I could put together a tutorial for how I generated this map for my Lowrance unit.
