Applied geographic software: plotting points on a world map by coordinates?

There is a set of coordinates (latitude, longitude), you need to put them on a world map, in order to then print them on one sheet of A4 format (BW printing).
It is highly desirable to do this under linux or in some online tool.
All this is needed in order to place on the map the location of certain species of animals (scientific work).

Install the gpsbabel utility, save your coordinates to a text file, for example And then convert to any format you need, for example KML: gpsbabel -i csv -f test.csv -o kml -F test.kml After that, the resulting KML can be loaded into Google Earth, Google Maps and your waypoints will be displayed on the map. gpsbabel supports all common GPS track formats. For example, as a result of converting the given list of coordinates and displaying them on a Google map, I got this g.co/maps/pgaqg
