Quickest way from Placemaker to map?

Hi all,

Placemaker is great! But I wonder what's the quickest way to plot the data a get in response to a map? Some tool to convert to KML would be nice. Or is there something I can do with Pipes?

Cheers,
Rainer

    I just released http://icant.co.uk/geomaker which does microformats and a map copy and paste. KML can be another option. I'll have a go at it.

    Hi Chris! Awesome! I realized that your text field takes more than the 50kByte Limit :-) Do you chop the text up into 50k pieces before you post to Placemaker or are you using some other Geoparser? (If so, I'd be interested for my own project as well...)

    Also, I wrote a small Java app by now that turns the Placemaker XML output to KML. Don't have a way of picking out false positives, though. That's really neat in your app!

    Keep it up!

    Cheers,
    Rainer
