No, but if you hum a few bars, I might be able to fake it.
(i.e. tell me how and I might be able to create one.
If you want the logon info for the map, let me know.)
I am not very good with Google, but I think there is a way to export waypoints in gpx format. I may have to experiment. That would allow me to load the points into my GPS.
Start here and let me know what you find:

I ended up calling a Real Smart Guy and getting some help with it, but I think I can ultimatly figure it out.

This is a GPX file. It will load into most of the programs that talk to GPSs. I read it with Mapsource.

This is a GPI file. On a ZUMO and several other Garmin models, this can be copied into the POI directory on the device. That will let you look up anyone anytime.

So with this we could set everyone's hometown as a waypoint? Would this work with our Garmin Etrex or our Delorme PN60?

the gpx file will work with almost all of them via something like GEOCACHING swiss ARMY knife (GsAk)

the POI file will work with the higher end GARMINS
