I found a site that can parse your Garmin's XML output into individual workout files.
Then, you upload one of your workout files. The application creates a map that is color-coded by speed and overlays your route on a road/trail map. It includes some color coded geographic features. Pretty slick...
The road and geographic feature overlays make it much richer (and informative) than the Garmin application that you can download from the Garmin site.
No - - it is not my site. No - - I have no business or personal relationship with the creators of this site. No - - I derive no benefit from your choice to (or not to) visit the site.
They apparently solicit donations (freeware/shareware/ASP) rather than charging outright.

Yep. That's a good one. I've found about 10 sites that will do the same thing. One of my favorites is www.motionbased.com. You can upload your workouts and also view other users runs/rides/etc across the world.
