Well, just today I heard of a thing called Google Fusion Tables. If you have a Google Drive (used to be Google Docs) account, that's where it is. This is definitely map related and you may need specific co-ordinates. I think it works by putting your data into a spreadsheet, then somehow it all translates to a map. Ah, the magic of Google. --- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/
