I'm using "GPS Manager" (http://www.ncc.up.pt/gpsman/)
the website isn't available at the moment (as every sunday noon .. don't
know why .. maybe backup)
It's GPL licenced, written in Tcl/Tk, runs on Unix/Linux, MAC, Win

Functions:
- read data from a GPS (Garmin, Lowrance and Magellan receivers)
- write it's own, GPX, Shape and some other formats
- loads bitmap data as background images (geo-reference function 
  is build in, but can also use GeoTIFF, TFW and OziExplorer 
  references)
- You can draw your own polylines on maps
