Google Spreadsheets Data API makes Maps mashups easy
April 3rd, 2007 | Published in Google Code
The Google Spreadsheets data API is cool, but it's even cooler when you combine it with other Google APIs. Check out this post on the Google Maps API blog where I've given a quick explanation of the Spreadsheets JSON output and how it can replace the server-side scripting and databases typically used to create dynamically updated map mashups. I also link to two sites that will have you creating client-side spreadsheets-based maps in a matter of minutes (with no coding required... unless you want to, of course).
