'Google maps stops kml/kmz support in February 2015
Google maps just told my they're deprecating their kml/kmz mapping service in Google Maps in February 2015.
See https://developers.google.com/maps/support/kmlmaps
I appreciate to be able to display my kml/kmz files in a map, but I can't find a drop-in replacement. Any suggestions?
I don't really want to make Google-account...

There are multiple options. For maps based on OpenStreetMap:
- umap allows you to create a map and import KML files.
- Leaflet and OpenLayers allow you to host your own map. It is possible to display GPX files. For converting KML to GPX see GPSBabel.

You can use Gmap4 which is an enhanced Google map viewer I developed. Simply put your KML, KMZ, GPX or TPO file online.
Start with this Gmap4 link: http://www.mappingsupport.com/p/gmap4.php?q=________________
Replace the underline with the http link to your file. Paste the completed link into your browser.
The Gmap4 homepage has a FAQ, examples, quick start info (on the Help page) and more to quickly get you up to speed.

Try GPS Visualizer: you can upload your kml and let it draw the map.
