What is a good tool to visualize/plot GPS data?

I usually use Google Earth and export my data as either .gpx or .kml so it can be plotted and visualised as a track with time animation. It's barely adequate ...

Haven't used myself but have seen others refer to it... openstreetmap... wiki.openstreetmap.org/.../Upload_GPS_tracks

Hello  ralphjy very interesting inquire.

I haven't tried it myself ,but there is a Map widget on the Arduino IoT clouds dashboard editor. i have used the IoT cloud for Visualization of telemetry data from Arduino boards. I noticed this widget and placed in the back of my maker mind, as a possible GPS location/visualizer to be included in a future project. 

I had real good luck implementing data visualizers  with several models of Arduino boards. I found it very easy to  implement a design involving data visualization.  There is an Arduino  GPS shield available at https://store-usa.arduino.cc/products/arduino-mkr-gps-shield?selectedStore=us 

There are also some GPS projects on the Arduino  community. 

Interesting stuff

I've used Viking for my Geocaches adventures.  It has versions for windows and Linux, but I was able to compile it in MacOS Big Sur.

You can add layers with several different kinds of maps - OpenStreetmap, nautical maps, etc...

It's very good.

We've used apps that are intended for hiking / walking / cycling routes. They show the visual routes, and they collect the GPS data. Not sure if that can be exported to the points (if you need that info), and pretty sure you can't import GPS points for processing. But if all you're interested in is the end result route(s), then maybe an app like that could do the trick?

There are a bunch of phone apps like Mapmyrun that seems like they could do what you want.

I have only used GPSWox, but is only free for a trial period.

It seems that most apps/programs can use the .gpx format, so that seems like the right approach.  I'll need to see if the nRF Cloud can export it that way or if I need to do some post-processing.

Thanks for the link.  Lots of good info on the wiki.  I'll need to give it a try.

I'll have to admit that I don't use the Arduino IoT Cloud much.  Probably because the free version is too limiting and I don't do stuff consistently enough to make a subscription worthwhile yet.  Good suggestion to look at what other projects have used.  I have a few different GPS unit, but haven't really gotten into visualization until my current foray into cellular IoT using the Nordic Thingy:91.

Viking looks pretty capable, but also a lot to learn.  I'll take a look at the tutorials.
