Embed a dynamic map of a public Google Spreadsheet on your webpage. After loading in your spreadsheet data and customizing the map, you can copy the generated code into your webpage. An example spreadsheet's data and map of great Seattle restaurants has been pre-loaded. You can view the original spreadsheet in HTML or XML.
This wizard uses the Google Maps API and Google Spreadsheets API.

Load worksheet data

Click "Load Worksheet Data" button when done. If your worksheet loaded successfully & you're using Firefox, you'll see a snapshot of the column data below. Note that the first row is treated as the header row - so it's best to put descriptive column titles there (e.g. "year", "revenue").

Generate Code

The Maps API requires a free API key that's associated with your Google Account and the URL of your web site. You can sign up for one here, and substitute it as the value of the "&key=" parameter in the script tag below.
