For MONTHS I had folks asking me when I was going to create a map of local breweries for Drink Up Columbus, but I wasn’t exactly sure how, so it kept slipping off my to-do list.
Then one day I published this directory of growler fill spots in Columbus, and Andy from The Salt Mines co-working space here in Columbus offered out of the blue to make me a map if I sent him a spreadsheet of addresses. No more than three minutes later he shot back an embed code for a map.
HE’S A WIZARD, I thought… but it turns out he just used BatchGeo, which is an AWESOME free resource if you need to make a map of a few different locations and you’re maybe a little bit technically challenged. Put the business name in column one, the address in column 2, copy/paste into the website, and you have a map, which you can go back and edit as needed. There’s also a paid version if you want to do more with it.
I made these three maps in less than five minutes total. AWESOME.
