plotting data points from spread sheet

[Russ Bradford]

Hi Rick,
 
have a look at the "VirtualSpatialData (ODBC/OVF) section in appendix B
of "Web Mapping Illustrated" - especially pages 320 and 321. They go
through some of the steps for viewing flat files.
 
Cheers, Russ.

sheet
	
	

	New user here with a VERY basic question.  I am learning
mapserver and openev using O'Reilly text "Web Mapping Illustrated".  I
have an excel spread sheet with long/lat point data with various
biological attributes that I would like to map.  Is there a simple
protocol for importing this type of data for viewing it on a map?  It is
likely that I have overlooked or am not understanding something basic,
so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

	 

	Thanks,

	 

	Rick
