I want to print out a map of a city with 12 numbered locations on it

[preslove]

I want to make a reference map for some clerks. I need to put the addresses of 12 doctors' offices numbered or lettered on the map of a metro area. I've looked at using google & yahoo maps, entering each address as directions, but it includes the route lines, which is confusing.

Are there any free tools that I can use?

You can add points to Google maps, with no direction lines.

I've been messing around with google for this, but can't find a way to number or letter those points. For a print out, that's pretty necessary.

Is there a way to do this that I haven't seen?

2 options:

Option 1: Do map, capture screen and add numbers via paint.

Option 2: Creat 64x64 pixel icons with numbers/etc and import them as custom icons into Google maps.

Does it have to be purely digital? What's wrong with printing out a google map and then using stickers to mark the locations? It's a time tested age old method for marking a map.

Click Collections -> Add a Pushpin, does just what you need I think.

Edit - here's an example of what it does.

why can't you just do google maps "get directions" and click "add destination" and ignore the actual driving directions? or hell, just create an entire route w/ driving directions at each point..

you can even drag destinations up and down so you don't have to retrace steps.

+1. This is what I do. I think other mapping sites have similar functions. And with Bing (formerly live, formerly mappoint), you can export a gpx file of the collection to a GPS too.
