As long as the data you’re importing isn’t proprietary or commercial, there’s no problem at all – import away.

No I meant using csv2kml to import files into Google. There are no legal implications of doing that are there?

Hi,

Are there any legal implications with Google for using this. I work for a non-profit client and I would like to know. It seems too good to be true so far! Thanks for the blog.

Search the “geocoding” category on this blog for many different ways to do this.

Very helpful indeed, but I still don’t know how to convert street+number+city to longitude+latitude. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanx, Tom.

Thanks for this great find, saved hours of work.

Just a note to users of localised versions of excel: CSV really means comma separated – in my Swedish version the default separator is semicolon and csv2kml is picky.

Take a look in the “geocoding” category on this blog, and you’ll find many solutions for this. And there’s a new post up today on the new version 3 of MapChannels, which makes it easy to add spreadsheet data to Google Maps and display it on your website.

Data with street addresses/geocoding. You mention that you plan to do a follow-up post on this topic — have you written it yet?
I’m a volunteer for a non-profit. I know how to add places one by one, have an Excel spreadsheet with addresses of all the sites, and want to add sites to Google Maps.

Thanks.
