My Geo-Skills challenge part 2

Challenge 2 BatchGeo (with international addresses). Use BatchGeo’s online geocoding service (the free one) to geocode a list of 10 addresses in a city outside the U.S. If you are successful, the service will display these points as placemarks on a GoogleMap. Save the resulting map as a KML file. Output: Your KML file

Challenge 4: Multimedia GoogleMap blog!

Your goal in this challenge is to create a GoogleMap that includes at least 10 map objects (points, lines or areas), and show that you can do the following things: 1) incorporate a photograph into a Google placemark, 2) embed a YouTube video into a Google Placemark, 3) select custom colors and symbols for placemarks, and 4) embed your Google map into another webpage (for this, one option is to create a simple blog using GoogleBlogger, and embed your map in that blog).
