Hi John,

I have done some work with this.

This company has a database for sale that has the code to create html files including your data and plotting them in google maps:

The cost was worth it for me and I was able to adapt it to my needs. 

There is also a new modern web browser control in the wings from the Microsoft Access team but Inot sure what the timing is for this:
