I like your demonstration. I used a similar demo as part of a proposal I made to re-do a website for a geomatics research group in Nova Scotia. My spreadsheet demo had nine cells. Placename, Lat, lon for three locations. Click on the placename when the lat, lon, were completed and Googleearth was launched heading directly for the placename clicked.

Here is a suggestion for a teaching exercise to learn capitals of countries for example.
This requires someone who is skilled with spreadsheet functions.

Have three columns set up on a spreadsheet. Column one are for countries. Column two
are blank cells. Column three are capitals (not aligned to matching countries). If the student places the correct name of the capital next to the country a tag will be placed on the map at the correct capital location.

Similar spreadsheets could be set up to match other items.

That would seem to make a lot of things easier…
Google Spreadsheets tied to Google Map…

Just think, the needed code to put a map on a site could be as simple as defining…

map size
spreadsheet link to get markers
