Create a Google Map from a Google Spreadsheet

Here's a tip from Chewy Trewhella of Google that I've been looking for a home for.  The links below tell you how to create a custom Google Map from a published Google Spreadsheet.

This could be a good way to answer the oft-asked question "how can I publish my Excel data on a Google Map"?  I guess you could upload your spreadsheet to Google Documents, publish the resulting Google Spreadsheet, then follow the wizard below.

The instructions for the wizard are here:

The original blog post is here:

Keywords: Excel, Google Maps, spreadsheet, tools
