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.
