Okay, its me the insane guy that likes Maps.

I was thinking of making a Map that had a little tiny dot for every loan made with Kiva.  How can I do this the easiest way?  Is there a spreadsheet with all this info (would be nice, as I could use the previous editgrid method)

Kivapedia has a list of maps, but it seems to be pretty outdated (2007).
All the loans would be unwieldy - 100,000 points -
Perhaps easier and a bit more informative would be to map the 100 or so MFIs

That is a good idea, however I think that it would be easier to just use the loan data like with individuals just all of kiva, because if there are 3 loans in Peru it will not have three bubbles but put the number 3 in the bubble, and the MFI data is different than loan data... Might do this if I can't get all the loan data.  Does anyone know how to get all of Kiva's loan data like you can do with individuals??
