Spreadsheet Mapper

This is the spreadsheet tool that we use in the Tech Training Workshops. With this tool you can "bulk map" dozens or even hundreds of points in good-looking balloons using the Google Spreadsheet Mapper 2.0 templates. This link takes you site where you can get the spreadsheet and where you can watch a short video on how to use the template.

Geocoder

If you have a major geocoding project and need thousands of lookups, take a look at geocoder.us. 20,000 lookups cost only $50. This is also a good source of information on geocoding and the site has an active blog with information on new features and examples.
