Default GPS, POI's and navigation software

hi,
i bought one of these and fitted it myself

http://www.gpsinforad.co.uk/default.asp

and it works brilliant.

there is a feature, where every min, it will save my co-ordinates so i can see where my bike has been on a map,

currently, with the software provided, i can only view the beginning of the journey, where i first turn it off, and the last postion, where i turn it off.

i can however save the journey as a .csv file,
if i do this, i can open it in notepad and it will give me a list of things.

the software provided says i can open this file with navigation software,
trouble is, me not knowing anything about navigation software, dont have a clue what im doing.

anyone know of any freeware navigation software i can use that will display my journey on a map at all ?
or any software that isnt free that will do the same job?


also, this only detects speed cameras from a GPS database, i can however program in POI's into it, and the light will flash orange as a approach them, rather than the red for speed camera.

what i would like to do, is add a database of police speed check and saftey camera partnership hotspots to give me an early warning. anyone know of a site that will give me this information.

i have done it once before on a satnav system, i got a poi folder from pocketGPSworld i think for free, but now they are charging for the download.

anyone know of any other sites that may help ?

cheers

brilliant bit of kit you know, really well made, tough and durable, and packaged very well.
