I’ve spent tons of time looking around for the best solution to this. Batchgeo was the best for a while since it made it simple to create a quick map of my data. Or TotallyAwesomeMapping.com was perfect for creating Google Earth KML (similar to this post above).

I’ve since moved on to http://Topo.ly. They not only build the map from Excel data, but then they let me do all kinds of analysis on top of it. I can add multiple layers of data on my map and give them different icons for each data set. Then I can filter each layer with values from any of the columns from my spreadsheet.

You can also build heat maps so that I can show high performing zip codes or counties based on my spreadsheet data.

Anyway, definitely worth a look. Thanks for the post, Tomas!

I’ve been using MapExcelData.xls with great success for a couple years. I’d like to know what I need to edit in the file that will allow me to set the height and width of the pop-up balloon.

I welcome this groups’ input.

Regards,

John

Hello, I have an excel dataset with origin and destination of trips in two columns. I would like to add a column with the distance between the two points. Is there a way to get google maps to calculate these withouth me having to do it manually for all the trips (they are more than 1,000)

thank you very much

TOMAS: Thanks for the great post. I’m using 64 bit OS as well as Office. and it gives me an error indicating that i need to change some things in the VBA code to make it work. the code in mClipboard is red so I think I need to change something there. Can you please guide me?

Although Yahoo Maps was supposed to close last month, I just tried

http://ramblings.mcpher.com/Home/excelquirks/getmaps

which can geocode or map using all of Yahoo, Bing, Ovi, or Google- and the Yahoo option is still working as of today.

It’s not working anymore Jonathan. I also get the “not found” because the yahoo api is no longer functional. It should be a way to change the macro to use another aplication such Google Api but I don’t know how. If somebody can change it please, let me know.
Here there is another tool to geocode from excel
