Convert gpx file to a map so that I can print it

as above, does anyone know of a program that I can use to save my tracker watch gpx file as a map?
I have a Tomtom Runner watch and although a map is produced on the cloud using the file from the watch, it is not very detailed and it doesn't print out very well either.
Free program would be best (obviously) but I am willing to pay for a decent program.

You can import a gpx file into Google maps and browse the route using the usual Google tools.

Google Earth will let you import that format - https://www.google.com/earth/outreach/learn/importing-global-positioning-systems-gps-data-in-google-earth/0

Thanks guys, I will give them a try and see if I can save them and print them off as well.0

If you want it on a proper map then you can get a subscription to OSMaps for £19.99 a year. That is online and allows you to print off on OSMaps. Allows you to map routes too.“Time is intended to be spent, not saved” - Alfred Wainwright0

Thanks, I tried that on a free trial but the gpx file that my watch produces has too much detail and is too big for them.0 -
Try here
Go to the "Upload your GPS data files here:" section and browse to wherever you've saved your GPX track file, then just click on the "Draw the map" button. All other settings on the page can be left unchanged.
If you want to see/save/print your route on an OS map you can upload your GPX track file here
:cool:
