Now Using Google Maps API
I made the move over to the Google Maps API for mapping and geocoding. So far I have had some mixed results, several users have commented that the geocoding is not as good as before with Yahoo.
However Google Maps provides a few nice features like returning accuracy and postal code, some features we lost long ago with the Yahoo Maps JSON geocoder.
Also the Google Maps interface looks cleaner and gives us a few more hooks for doing nifty things with the map. I took the opportunity to clean up the main interface and try to make things easier for first time users.
Please post your comments and findings here. If you are having issues geocoding please include a few sample addresses.

The spread sheet version does not print.
I've tried everything I can think of but can't get the print map or other print features to show the map, it show's all the data only.
You might need to enabled "Print background images" in IE in order for it to print properly.
When using the excel spread sheet version.
The map will not print only the data.
This is in excel not the browser based version. what can I do?
Try enabling printing of background images in Internet Explorer. Its under Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced
I did try to enable background images ….. as you stated but did you notice I'm not using Internet explorer, I'm inside an excel spread sheet that is inside Microsoft office not my browser.
