If you'd like to see your flight traces overlaid on a very detailed photographic map of the Earth (and who wouldn't?), now you can. GPS Visualizer can now create Google Earth .kml files from .igc files. You will need to download and install Google Earth (free, but you'll need broadband to use it effectively) and then visit GPS Visualizer and use the free converter. Experiment with it. I just discovered this today and have barely scratched the surface of what can be done with it.
