A mapping tool better than Great Circle Mapper?

Although the Great Circle Mapper does a very good job (I assume) of charting distances, ranges and so on, the graphical result showing the flight lines and routes etc. is not very good IMHO. The map produced is very small, lacks any detail and is not very good unless mapping less than only a few routes. I want/need a mapper that allows multiple routes to be represented on either a Mercator and/or orthographic projection, but on a much larger size, with good detail and ability to expand the graphic without enormous distortion (even Photoshop cannot expand the Great Circle Mapper graphics without alot of distortion and loss of detail).

Any suggestions? Thanks!
