My GPS unit produces separate POI / waypoint files in addition to trackpoint files. Combining the two produces a file that can be visualised and traced in Potlatch:

Waypoint files may not be timestamped, so using a text editor, add timestamps to each waypoint in the format

<time>2010-10-06T11:15:27Z</time>

Then cut the block of waypoints and paste at the end the list of trkpoints. You might want to edit the trkpoints to just a few in the vicinity of the waypoints. The resulting file:
