Excel and Google Maps.
Following my previous posts comparing the geoCoding capabilities of Yahoo, Bing and Google Maps I have now implemented Adding markers to google Maps straight from an Excel Table. As usual this is fully functional Excel application you can download and use.
Please take a look and give us some feedback on the excel ramblings forum
Next I will take a look at how easy it is to implement the same thing on google Maps, Bing and Yahoo.
OVI maps
I did want to include OVI maps in this comparison, but I could not find the REST Url for geoCoding. Anybody know it? Either it is very well hidden or it doesn’t exist.
Egghead Cafe Article
I quite often contribute articles to http://www.eggheadcafe.com/. For those of you who were interested in the article on comparison of geoCoding providers on Excel Ramblings Site, you may want to take a look at this one on the same theme on Egghead Cafe.

Actually, implementation on Yahoo Maps was real easy = so I did that too.
Head over and take a look

Pity that Yahoo Maps is closing down, because the maps are real pretty – they do take a whiel to load though.
