    Map It

    Has anyone written code to take an address in a spreadsheet and open up Bing Maps or Mapquest to that address? As an example, Outlook has a button called "Map It" that opens up Bing Maps and populates it with the address data. I figure this is some kind of API call but I also know that I am a little out of my depths with figuring that out on my own.

    you could use hyperlink to do this, for example a google link would be something like this.

    =HYPERLINK("http://maps.google.ca/maps?q="&SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","+"),"Map It")
