    Build a map that I can enter and plot x,y coordinates.

    Is there a way to construct a grid map that I can simply insert x,-x,y,-y coordinates into to plot a marker and then add a note or comment box which will tell me who or what it is when I place my pointer over it?

    Isn't that exactly what a worksheet is? You reference the column as the X co-ordinate, the row as the Y co-ordinate, the cell reference at the intersection can hold a note or comment box. Insert a map image as a worksheet background, resize to suit, adjust row height / column width to suit, and switch off view gridlines. Sorted.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    I was hoping that there was an easier way than numbering 10k columns and rows.

    They're already numbered...
