    Create a World Map with Pushpins

    Hi,

    I am trying to put pushpins on a world map in an Excel 2007 spreadsheet. The idea is to have a world map as background or static image and pushpins with information embedded in them. The pushpins would display information as the mouse rolls over them or are clicked. I have tried using a world map as a background and then reducing the cell sizes to a point that using the comments function could create a similar effect, but was a bit too crude looking.

    I realize that MapPoint is something that can be purchased, but I am looking for a free alternative that can be coded via VBA or a simpler solution. I am not looking for Geocoding or web interfacing. The simpler the better.

    Any help is deeply appreciated!

    Many Thanks!

    How about Google Earth? Free, a lot more capabilities, and you could write VBA code to export kml files.

    How would I do that? I looked around, but didn't find anything clear on how to go on about it.

    Any references on how to write VBA for this?
