Best way of plotting 802.11 APs from PcapNG and GPX

I recently turned my rooted Google Pixel 8 into a mobile wardriving machine, by using a version of Limbo ported to use KVM, which is exposed by Google’s Tensor SoCs, which also allows the passthrough of USB devices. I passed through a Mediatek MT7921AU NIC to the arm64 Ubuntu 24.04 LTS VM. Link to exact WLAN card I used. To put the card in monitor mode, I used ‘iw’ and to actually do the capture, I used termshark/tshark. I then went out for a drive.

I used OSMand~ to plot my GPS locations and times in a GPX file, and I used tshark to create a PcapNG file. I am now wondering if there’s any software that can easily easily match the timestamps of the PcapNG and GPX files to plot the various SSIDs on a map.

(I’m sure I could rig up a python script to accomplish this sort of task, but I’d be surprised if nobody’s already done this. I’d rather not waste my time re-inventing the wheel.)
