OK, this is a request for help.
I volunteered to do some work for an upcoming conference and they asked me if I could come up with some sort of "herding/coordinating people" to go to dinner after our division's cocktail hour. The chair sent me a list of restaurants and their addresses. I thought a great way to do this would be to provide folks with a map with the restaurants starred (noted? Highlighted?) on the map.
This would seem to be a simple thing to do. Yet, it is not.
Do you all have any suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks much!

Okay, my connection is way too slow to come up with an example like I thought I would, but why don't you go to Google Maps (or one of the others) and zoom and tweak until you've got a map of the area you need. Print it out and add post-its (or pieces of post-its) for your destinations.
I would think that one or the other of these services would even let you annotate before printing, but I'll just have to wonder about that because dial-up sucks.
Oh, right, and Step the Last: photocopy and/or enlarge as desired.
Thanks for the suggestions, Jenn.
Google Maps are by far the best. I am going to hopefully finish this thing tonight!
If you haven't already finsihed it, I just found out about Quickmaps, which makes it easy to slap down pointers and directions on a Google map ...
Stoopid 1337 marketers ...
It's Quikmaps (sans "c") the above link is some spammy thing (sorry!).

YAY!!!!! It totally worked and was so easy. And thank you for coming back and putting the new link on there. I wasn't sure what to do with the other one.
The map turned out really nicely!!!!
