Google Maps
While working within Google, it can be easy to move data from one of their services to another.
Create a Spreadsheet
You might need to log in.
Create a Map from Spreadsheet
In another tab or window, open https://drive.google.com again.
This time, choose Create -> Maps, and then Import your spreadsheet from Googel Drive. You might need to allow Pop-ups from Google to do this, as it will prompt you to pick which columns to use.
Imports can also be done with structured data from CSV and TSV files.
