You can color code the parcels and add the additional data you want to track to the attributes tables.

AccuGlobe (Free)

National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD) 2007 CD (Free)
https://www.bts.gov/pdc/user/products/src/products.xml?p=2559&c=-1

Your state’s geodata warehouse probably offers free downloads of GIS data files with locations of churches, schools, local roads, etc.

God bless…

Thus far I have only used them for directions and to get a feel for an area. My favorite part is that I can now locate streets in Northern Brazil (Manaus, Recife, Fortaleza). It is a tool thus far only limited to my understanding on its uses.

I do not know if you can import data directly into Google Maps, but I know you can in Google Earth. I did it with all the churches in our Association. Check out my post: GCBA in Google Earth.

I entered the data one by one (unfortunately), but at least I was able to copy and paste most of the info. The 105 entries took me a total of about four hours to complete, and I plan on adding more content (such as names of children, ethnicity, and occupation) in the future.

But that is not to say that there isn’t a way to upload the data. I am still really new to this stuff, and I would guess my knowledge is less than 10% (!) of what is out there regarding Google Maps.
