Creating a custom google map with spreadsheet
-
Hi Hi,
I recently saw the Seomoz Webinar "All About Google Places", and there was the advice to make a custom map with google spreadsheet. I tried it, but it hadn't worked. It seem, that this service is deprecated: http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/spreadsheetsmapwizard/makecustommap.htm
I can't find another way doing this with spreadsheets. Can anyone help?
Thank you!

Greetings Andre,
I'm sorry your question didn't receive a prompt response.
Does this link help?
http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/spreadsheetsmapwizard/makecustommap.htm
Is that what you are trying to do?
Please, let me know.

Hi Miriam,
thank you for your answer. Thist is exactly what I want, BUT, when I get it right, I need an API key that is no longer available. The website says:
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.
When you click "here", the upcoming website says, that you can't get this API key. I don't know, if I can use another API key, or something??

Hmmm, that's troubling, Andre.
I honestly don't have an answer to this. May I recommend that you try submitting a thread to the Google Visualization API forum:
http://groups.google.com/group/google-visualization-api
I would love to be able to help you, but am afraid I don't know how to resolve the error messaging you are receiving. Maybe someone over there will have encountered it before and will be able to tell you what's up? Good luck!
