Heres a quick summary of my new task..

Just last week we where approved to sell to a well known nationwide chain of stores. The chain is searchable on google maps, bingo, and even has a website with all of their locations listed.

I have the task of plotting all of these stores into my map.

Do you have any idea how to do this without spending an entire day on it?

Has anyone found a way to import listings from Yellow Pages or Google Maps results?

I am looking at Bing.com. If you populate a map with waypoints, it gives you the option of exporting them to kml file or gpx.

This could work, although might still be fairly time consuming.

If you have a list of the locations, then MapPoint could import these using the Data Import Wizard.

I assume the locations are by street address and not longitude,latitude coordinates. Therefore expect some geocoding errors.
