Convert your GPS data for use in Google Earth

This form will import your GPS data file (e.g., GPX), or plain-text data (tab-delimited or CSV), and create a KML file that you can view in the Google Earth application or import into Google's "My Maps" system.

(You might also be interested in the Google Maps input form, which can create an interactive map that can be viewed in almost any Web browser; you can even use KML/KMZ files as input. For SVG or JPEG maps, use the "classic" map form. To resize and/or colorize Google Earth markers based on a particular field, use the data form.)

NEW: If you want to add altitude information to your KML file, enable the option labeled "Add DEM elevation data." GPS Visualizer's server hosts a 90GB database of digital elevation data that can be integrated into your data.
