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.
