I'm trying to find some software that I can use to display multiple GPX tracks in one place. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? I've found several websites that will display a single GPX track, but that's not what I want.

To expand slightly, the aim is to have a map of where I have travelled by train. The plan is to create and export the GPX tracks using Brouter, then import them into whatever software for display. I don't particularly mind whether it's an online piece of software, or something I have to download. The ideal scenario would basically be an OpenStreetMap window, overlaid with all my GPX tracks (probably with each track on its own layer).

Thanks very much

Google Earth Pro on PC and OsmAnd on Android/iOS/Web would be my best option

Second for Google Earth. Years ago I used it to manage a very similar scenario mapping where I'd been that year using KML files.

If you use iOS, I rely on an integrated solution on my phone to do this for the last 10 years with great success. Called ‘UK Map’ it supplies free OS Mapping, records and displays the routes in any colour you like and is totally self-contained. Google was a total pain having to manipulate and place files. I can pull up my rail journeys by year on my phone and iPad and don’t have to think the process through - hit Record at the start and End when finished.

I tried doing something similar with a map of hundreds of GPX files and Qgis is absolutely the way to go. I tried Google Earth and Google myMaps and it was very slow/unresponsive and my maps has a limit to how many layers you can load in.
Qgis will be harder to learn but you can make some very pretty maps from it
