Annotated environments, intelligent infrastructure and digital landscapes - Smartspace - DIY Google Map Mashup in Jotspot

Today's postings seem to have a theme - basic Web apps. I am a new user of Jotspot, the Web-based wiki platform. One of Jotspots useful apps is Tracker, an online spreadsheet application that allows multiple users to collaborate on a spreadsheet real-time. One feature of this is the ability to quickly plot addresses entered into a spreadsheet format on a Google Map.

In my case, it was simply to plot the location of my son's soccer team to better locate a central practice field. But in a couple of keystrokes it was done - I had created a custom Google Map with each player's home as a marker. Probably killing a fly with a sledgehammer, but the easy import function made it seem like a quick way to get an idea of where we all live in relation to one another.
