Here is what I did for the top 50 REALTOR Associations in membership: http://www.retechtraining.com/custompages_reports.php?key=g228387 Forgive the link back to the site... more importantly I wanted to show you how it can work across the country too for real estate educators. Has anyone else tried the translation gadget on Google Docs for international clients?. It rocks!! This is more for those that educate than sell real estate.

They import a csv file with addresses and related info to create a google map with code to insert into your web page. I'll have to check out Mapalist too.

Just type your listing's address into Gmaps then edit in My Maps. You can also upload GPS data into My Maps ( Take GPS device with you in the car as you drive through neighborhoods where your listings are ) and make a sharable "driving tour": Importing KML or GeoRSS to Your Map Once you have created a map, you can import KML, KMZ or GeoRSS data into your map.

Kim - sorry, not sure how to import into the GPS yet :( Jamey - good idea! Maybe have one map of current listings and one of sold? Todd - I'm not sure how you can get regular Google Maps to do this, I just spent some time looking into it and didn't see an option to upload a spreadsheet of addresses directly into Google Maps. The only way I can see to do it is manually, which definitely isn't very efficient IMHO. Paula & Lani – I totally agree, to me the best part is the easy visualization of data.

If you already have a Gmail account, sign in and click "My Maps". You can even create custom icons for the push pins. After adding all your listings, just copy past the embed code into the side bar of your WordPress blog and that's it. Maplist is cool, but just regular Google Maps supports this too.

I have been a big fan of Google Maps, but this really makes it easy to integrate data with their application, thanks for sharing. I think this will be cool for listing agents too, who want to quickly show all the listings they have in a neighborhood :) Ok, this is pretty sweet!
