This site works pretty well for that sort of thing:
http://www.batchgeocode.com/

He could create something in a spreadsheet and then paste the code in to
the window. Once you read the instructions, it's pretty simple.


Also, if he has a Google account, there's a map gadget available. Go to
Google Docs, create a spreadsheet, then Insert --> Gadget --> Maps --> Map

The upside to this one is if you go to Share --> Publish as a web page
(and also Share --> Share with the world), the mash-up can be posted on
a website.

Hope this helps...
