Lars, I just tried the Fusion Tables, it is ABSOLUTELY the fastest thing possible. visit http://www.google.com/fusiontables/ and start messing around. I uploaded my data, had 3816 markers mapped just about instantly. I'm not 100% sure how it all works and what the best way to implement it in a site is, but I know you can add a layer from fusion table and it also will give you an embed link if you want to do that too. For me, it's perfect! Eric
