Using a spreadsheet in Google Docs was a convenient way to list the apartments I was interested in, and creating a <a href="//maps.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=67842">My Map in Google Maps</a> was a great way to plot their locations. But, I wished there was a way to see both the map and spreadsheet at the same time. Some tools already existed to convert spreadsheets into <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/kml/">KML</a>, but these don't work well when you're updating a spreadsheet on a daily basis. <br /><br />Thus the Spreadsheet Mapper gadget was born. The idea is simple: within a spreadsheet, generate a map based on address information in any column. This allowed me to quickly list the apartments I was interested in, while seeing how far they were from work.<br /><br />Developing the gadget was easy.
