We have now (jan2017) a csv layer import inside Google Maps itself.

Google Maps > "Your Places" > "Open in My Maps"

GPS Visualizer has an interface by which you can cut and paste a CSV file and convert it to kml:

Then use Google Earth. If you don't have Google Earth and want to display it online I found another nifty service that will plot kml files online:

none of that needed.... just go to:

http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/

now and load your csv file as-is. extra columns and all. it will slice and dice and use just the log & lat columns and plot it for you on google maps.

The easiest way to do this is generate a KML file (see http://code.google.com/apis/kml/articles/csvtokml.html for a possible solution). You can then open that up in Google Maps by storing it online and linking to it from Google Maps as described at http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/whatiskml.html

EDIT: http://www.gpsbabel.org/ may let you do it without coding.

I don't have any experience with python, could you explain the process in detail? Or is there any software to do this easily? – woodleader May 02 '11 at 16:05
You're going to need some coding to do that with most of the KML libraries out there: http://www.gpsbabel.org/ is one option that may let you do it with a UI. – Femi May 02 '11 at 16:21

For generating the KML file from your CSV file (or XLS), you can use MyGeodata online GIS Data Converter. Here is the CSV to KML How-To.
