It is overkill for this need but creating maps like this is a skill/tool
that is good to have. What tool are you talking about?

The option you suggest is probably improved with this article I found.
http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/12/14/1622209&from=rss
It describes putting a graphic image map as the background of a OOo Calc
spreadsheet and then placing icons and information in the spreadsheet
cells at the locations on the map. Not a "bad" idea, really, but not the
solution I was hoping for.
MS has MapPoint to do this and I use it years ago. Feed it a list of
addresses and it puts them on the map for you. I hoped for something
similar in Linux.
A thought I just had: How do the wardrivers map all those wifi spots?
Hmm... I'll go research that.
