Is there is good free download site for a viewer for .GPX files from my new
Garmin GPSmap 62st? I'm running Windows XP Pro. I haven't found a viewer,
and can't find the software in the unit itself.
Different connotations to the word "view".
A GPX file is XML text, so you could examine the contents with, say,
Notepad on a Windows PC.
Or Firefox.
G7toWin formats the file nicely, and saves in formats that can be
manipulated by spreadsheet programs, so that's pretty handy.

http://www.easygps.com/ is a free GUI tool. No maps, but it does draw
your data on a blank sheet as well as a tabular text.
Earth.Google.Com will display your gpx file overlaid on an aerial
view. Google Earth includes GPSBabel, a command line conversion tool that
is quite utilitarian, with options to convert files of different formats as
well as writing and reading to and from a GPS unit.
You can upload it to maps.google.com, and share it under "my maps"
for others to view. (the upload box doesn't mention GPX, but it works.)
