I would suggest using QGIS. It run great under Fedora. I use Dani's copr repo for QGIS. (copy of repo below) It's has the latest version, 3.4 which is very stable. QGIS will natively open GPX tracks. Then you'll want to get some backgrounds. I would add the QuickMapServices plugin. Once the plugin is installed, Go to Web, QuickMapServices and open settings. Under More service, select Get contributed pack. It will load in more than a dozen backgrounds you can use.

As a personal note from an active OSM contributor, please at least consider uploading your tracks. Just go to osm.org and select GPX Tracks to upload yours. If you are willing to put some extra effort, once you've added your traces, please add your trail to OSM. 

When I'm speaking to a group about OSM, I'm usually asked about quality, which is at least as good, if not better, than the others in large cities. But for trails, OSM has the most trails of any map service. 99% of those trails are added from gpx traces from people just like you. 

If you need help with OSM or QGIS, please contact me directly.

Best,
Clifford

        I have a pair of old Garmin RINO 120 GPSs and a gadget to connect
either of them, one at a time, to my PC, currently running F 29. For
several years I could run topo map software under WINE -- unfree software
from any, or almost any, of half a dozen vendors -- but never get any of
them to talk to either GPS. Now there is Open Street Map, a.k.a. OSM,
which I THINK runs natively under Linux.

        I have studied forums and followed discussion lists (with Pan and
Gmane, since most of the content is obviously unrelated to my
questions).  For years.

        It seems that everyone else is a mapMAKER, and takes mere USE for
granted. I only want to use it, and only out in the woods or the desert
or the tooley weeds -- all of which, it seems, OSM does map, despite its
name. I want to get maps to scale that show things of interest to me
only, or I hope only -- things like good lunch rocks, and nests, and
particular trees, all or nearly all off any trail.

        Unlike the OSM regulars, I have no advanced skills in
cartography, nor EE, nor CS. My skills and knowledge are in unrelated
areas.

        All this boils down to two questions. If I install OSM under
Fedora, will it accept, incorporate, and display off-road and off-trail
data from an old GPS, either with OSM's own data, or with things like USGS
topo maps? And if it will, can an ordinary mortal learn to use it?
