uMap is a website which allows you to import GPX data and overlay it on an OpenStreetMap layer. This tutorial will teach you how to view GPX-formatted GPS data in uMap.
(If you don’t yet have any GPX files to view, follow one of my Recording and Extracting GPS Data to GPX tutorials.)

Google Earth is a map viewer that provides an easy way to view GPS data files. This tutorial will teach you how to view GPX-formatted GPS data in Google Earth.
(If you don’t yet have any GPX files to view, follow one of my Recording and Extracting GPS Data to GPX tutorials.)

This tutorial will teach you how to use an iOS device to log GPS data and export it to a GPX file (which can then be used by mapping software).

GPX (GPS Exchange format) and KML (Keyhole Markup Language) are both file types used to store GPS data. While many applications can use either file formats, Google products (Google Earth, Google My Maps) tend to prefer KML, so it’s often helpful to be able to convert between them.
(Note that both .kml and .kmz file extensions represent KML files; the latter is just a zipped version to reduce file size.)
This tutorial will teach you how to convert between GPX and KML (in both directions) using GPS Visualizer.
