*2018 UPDATE*: Google Maps has changed the way you access their static map API (what's used in this video), so the code used here no longer works. Go to the codelab at http://g.co/codelabs/apps-script-intro to get the update that will make it work again. Sorry, but you can't update videos once they're published!

Connecting to Google Maps from a spreadsheet? Sounds intriguing doesn't it? The best part is that this is no parlor trick. In this follow-up Google Apps Script episode (watch first one first: http://goo.gl/1sXeuD), developers will create a Google Map from an address stored in a Google Sheet! We'll also present some scenarios of when this may be useful, and perhaps we'll have a special surprise waiting for you at the end!
