If you want a tool to visualize GPX files and overlay with a variety of map layers (including mapnik, osmarender or SRTM) then you could try viking. You can choose what tiles to download or ask it to download all tiles for a GPX trace. The tiles will be cached between sessions. It uses GTK-2 and runs on at least Linux and Windows. http://viking.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/viking/ I have not played with it much but I tried the SVN version and it worked for me.
