Importing Lat and Long directly to Pushpin Dataset?

Hi,
It seems that when importing data, you must specify atleast a few address parts to translate into a pushpin set. All the data i have in my DB is Lat/Long coords. Is it possible to turn this into a pushpin set without programmatically processing the dataset and manually adding the pushpins?

Thanks,
Jeff

You can just make a text file like:

"
Name,Latitude,Longitude
Entry 1 Name,33.9817,-84.08405
Entry 2 Name, 33.8732,-84.03923
etc
"

And then use the Import Data Wizard to make a new Pushpin set this way. You can also use a tool like gpxexchange if you have a bunch of waypoints to import in gpx format.
