OTOH now that I've learned how to Import from Device then Export to .gpx file, I don't need anything else. The output is just .gpx files. So far, I've used Geosetter. LR will also do it. Garmin's BaseCamp software should do it, as well, but is again not straightforward, so I've not actually used it.
Once you have a gpx file you might try:

Google Earth Pro, now a free download. Might want to convert to kml.

Or you can use Joey'e gmap4. It allows geotagged clickable thumbs. A steep learning curve but powerful.

I created this map which allows one to follow progress on the map in real time. Eventually I will have the NPS folks include POI interpretation sites on the map.

Note the kmz file I host. One can simply substitute the appropriate kmz, tags and coordinates in the above link to create your own map. I did not force the phone gps in this link but it is easy enough to include a tag to do it and it is included in the QR codes at trailheads.

Too much info.
