gpx2map reads a gps track in GPX format (as produced by e.g. gpsbabel) and writes out an Google Map, a Yahoo Map or OpenStreetMaps mash-up containing the route and a height profile.
gpx2map comes very handy when you e.g. own an Garmin eTrex and want to know where you wandered around last time. Then you just use gpsbabel to fetch your tracks in GPX format and let gpx2map write out an map overlay for you.
Installation:
Just copy (or link) the file gpx2map into your path or any place you like.
Put the mash-up template files gpx2map.google.template, gpx2map.osm.template and gpx2map.yahoo.template where you put gpx2map itself (not to the link, in case you linked it).
When you don't have the CPAN module Geo::Distance installed then you also need to place the sub-directory cpan/ below the location you put gpx2map into. See also section Requirements.
Finally, you need to configure gpx2map to use your own Yahoo Maps API key in case you really want to use the Yahoo Maps Interface (which is currently broken anyway). Otherwise you won't be able to see your route pages online.
Program Options:
gpx2map [--help|-h] [--version|-V] [--route|-r route] [--merge]

--route, -r < route > Route to read
