I have a Garmin 78s marine GPS receiver and it stores tracks in GPX format. This is an XML encoded set of points giving longitude, latitude, time and sea depth. Garmin support viewing this via their Garmin Express product, but there only seem to be Windows and Mac versions. I've emailed them and await a reply. In the mean time, does anyone know of any Linux products that will emable me to view track data on a decent sized screen? I don't want to re-invent the wheel by coding up a hack myself.
JOSM: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM
JOSM is a great GPLed Java tool that can download/upload data from OpenStreetMap and various other sources including sat images. It works great on Linux for viewing/editing tracks too.
Its GUI is not the best in class and could take some time to get used to. But once you get familiar with its mechanism it's quite powerful.
There are other Linux tools like KDE Marble. Check out this list:
