I wrote a package several years ago that converts GPX files to Google Maps: http://facstaff.unca.edu/mcmcclur/GoogleMaps/GPXToGoogleMap/ It works fine with Mathematica versions 5.1-8.0. Of course, it gets easier to work with geo-spatial data in every version of Mathematica. In V8, you can directly import GPX files, as well as many other geo-spatial file types, using the Import command. Mark McClure
