Adding a track to google maps

So you have your own web page that displays a map from Google Maps and you want it to show a GPS track. Well, it does not work out of the box as Google Maps API does not support loading tracks by itself. But luckily a simple solution in a few lines of jQuery code exists that does exactly that - loads a GPX track onto a map. The code and everything else is accessible at: http://www.jacquet80.eu/blog/post/2011/02/Display-GPX-tracks-using-Google-Maps-API
