If you stil need to do this, and don't want to code, you can use Mapeteria http://maps.webfoot.com/mapeteria
You give it a CSV file with countryIso2,stateIso2,attribute e.g. "us","il",27 and it will give you back a KML file of the states coloured based on the attribute. You can use the KML in Google Earth, or you can plop it onto Google Maps. (It will also do countries -- leave out the state ISO-2 column.) If you want to tweak it, the source is at http://code.google.com/p/mapeteria/ On Nov 25 2008, 9:34 am, julz <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm totally new to Google Maps API.
