I have discovered Google's 'Build your own map' feature.
If you search online for Google My Maps you'll get a link to My Maps where you can create your own, custom map.
You can import various GPS tracks including .kml and .gpx.
A search on t'internet brought forth a .klm of Birmingham's boundary which I addded and shaded a nice yellow colour.
Just to see what the map will look like when populated with a few walks, I imported a few .gpx files from my many walks around Birmimgham.
Then the neat bit, I embedded my map into this blog (see top of right hand column).
If the imported files are a bit 'bumpy' there is also an option to draw in line - this may be a good option just to keep it all neat and tidy.
So that's the mapping bit sorted - or at least until I find something better!
