I found this efficient solution to display coordinates when I explore Google Map API.
The imported file should be formatted CSV or xlsx. In this case, I use xlsx format data coming from the 2013 of SD crash data.
You can import 100 coordinates in free google web-based maps, but Maps Engine Pro is more powerful. Google Maps Engine Pro will cost $5 per month, or $50 per year.
After click on import 100rows, you will continue to next step as follow:
