estimate power output

Is it possible to take my GPS tracks and estimate my power output so I can avoid buying a power meter? I was looking at my recent rides and noticed that I'm spending more time at higher speeds and also climbing faster, but sometimes it doesn't affect my average speed. I realize I would have to put in the weights of my bike, body, and cargo to get a rough estimate.
