Google maps is off course a good online map, stores bookmarks of locations and I think also the routes between locations.

However I don't know if the webpage also supports GPS stuff

Google Earth also works on Linux (making it available offline), but I couldn't find a quick confirmation on whether it supports GPS tracking/logging.

Perhaps it's worth checking this list

It depends on your region. Google maps doesn't know all areas. – Mercer Traieste Jul 17 '09 at 9:00
I'm pretty sure the "pro" version of Google Earth supports importing GPS data, but I'm not sure if the free version does. – Brian Ortiz Oct 7 '09 at 0:33
The Google Earth app may be available offline, but where does it get it's data from? I'm going to guess online :-) – Ben Everard Sep 28 '10 at 13:04

Depending on what you want to do with it QLandkarteGT is worth looking into. It can display * different online maps * garmin-style vector maps * raster maps

And helps you in planning routes, setting POIs etc.

it can talk to various Garmin devices. I use it frequently to load gps-data to and from my Garmin eTrex vista.
