In our sandbox this week we had Tony Hirst from OUseful.info come in and deliver a great session on both mapping data using google docs, yahoo pipes as well as Gephi to map social networks. This is how we created a map of the UK's largest towns and cities by population.
We created location based spreadsheet by scraping a Wikipedia table, then published it as a csv spreadsheet using google docs.
Piped csv file through yahoo pipes - using regex & location builder module -

Run pipe - creates yahoo map.
