Messing around with Google Maps, I think I've got all of it here.

Now that is outright cool how do you do it I would love to do it unfortunately half of my Bases and Shore Batteries are on a theoretical Island off the Coast of Africa.... :)

I agree that is really cool.  I've been wanting to do that with Egypt's installations and major cities and railroads.  But I haven't the patience to sit down and do it.

and if one wanted to do this, how would one go about it?
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when solider lads march by
Sneak home and pray that you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

Download google earth for starters I'd assume.

No need, create an account for google maps and create a custom map in "my maps" and set markers.

Nifty Doodle.
I'm still at the MS Paint and downloaded maps phase :)
Did they beat the drum slowly,
Did they play the fife lowly,
Did they sound the death march, as they lowered you down,
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

Damn its a great Idea but most of my Costal Batteries are at Nacala, Blantrye, Novo Lipari, and only at Montivideo would they appear on a real map.

What would be neat is if I could auto-update the google map with data from my inventory spreadsheet. I suppose if I added lat-long to that, I could. Then all sorts of stuff, like army hq locations and even ship locations could be mapped. That would be nifty.

Next time I'm laid up for a couple of days and my wife wants to watched DVR'd award shows to "spend time with me", I guess.
