After a quick search, the tool OSMLib seems to do that, but isn't appropriate for a "non technical user". So, I've remembered about an OpenLayers example, and I've used it for producing what you want:

I hope that the produced results isn't wrong, and it will help you.

Edit: Ok, you can also find online interface for gpslabel like this one at gpsvisualizer.com

Thanks a ton Nicolas, but unfortunately i am doing something really dumb. I was mapping the garbage Bins in my neighbourhood and wanted to share it as a KML with other non technical users, this thing did show some placemarks but thats not what is intended.

I want to show some icon (instead of the pin) and some information , I can upload a OSM file I exported from OSM. Is there a way to attach a osm file to this post, or can i email it

If you create a kml with your points, you can use a custom icon in the kml file by specifying it in the style block:

<Style>
  <IconStyle>
    <Icon>
      <href>http://www.domain.com/images/mymarker.png</href>
    </Icon>
  </IconStyle>
</Style>

This doesn't seem to be working nowadays. I just pasted a simple osm way XML on it, and nothing seems to happen. Opening up JavaScript console gives the following error: TypeError: node is undefined.

Is it something like this map that you want ? I mainly followed the instructions of [this blog](http://www.mappa-mercia.org/2014/09/creating-an-always-up-to-date-map.html] of Mappa Mercia
