Display GPS Track on a map (on personal web site)

What I would like to do is display a historical track of where we have been, by using saved GPS track logs or Oziexplorer .plt files, on to a (Google) map within our personal blog web site.
Any ideas on how this can be accomplished would be very welcome.

you might have better luck converting to a more popular GPX format.

Saved GPS track logs are in GPX format.

You could open them in Google Earth, if it helps.

Is it a wordpress based site?
There used to be some good GPX/KML based plugins I used to use, but they are not any good for non-wp sites
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/goo ... px-viewer/ is just one

Yes WP based site.
That plugin looks like something I could use.

Wordpress site with any of the map plugins will be the easiest solution.
I use XML google maps WP plugin with the OSM map option.
