Hey, this sounds like a good project. I'd encourage you to think about the format you will use in the .csv file so as to solve the more general problem. Excel has a simple map making module and therefore there is probably a standard way to create the table from which to generate the map. If you can find the standard and it seems reasonable, it would be worth following that rather than re-inventing our own. I presume the standard will define how to distinguish points, lines and polygons and how to separate the geometry from the attributes. One of my long term goals is to create such a subsystem for the Gnumeric spreadsheet.
