Hello,

The data you are looking for can be parsed from the *.gmap data files 
found here:

http://www.decode.com/addendum/

and these files can be converted to a bed4 file using this awk command:

awk '$1 != "chr" {print $1 "\t" ($3-1) "\t" $3 "\t" $2 ":" $4;}' 
file.gmap > file.bed

You can then load the bed4 into the browser as a custom track. You can 
read more about custom tracks and the bed file format here:

http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/customTrack.html
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/customTrack.html#BED

If you only want the snp <-> cM mapping you can extract the 2 relevant 
columns from the *.gmap data files.

We hope to display this data in the browser at some point but are 
currently working on other projects.

Best regards,

Pauline Fujita
