Google Map Utility

This started out as an ancillary project for incorporation into a much larger project
that gathers statistical data on job incidents occurring in Lower Manhattan.
It allows the user to view predefined maps of targeted areas in the borough.
The maps are embedded on an Access form, using the Active-X Webrowser control. They are interactive, in that the user can scroll through them, and zoom in/out.
The process of adding new map references proved a little cumbersome, so additional functionality was included to make it easy ...or at least easier...to find and embed new maps.

Sidenote:

I'm a little dissatisfied with having to store the HTML string in multiple text fields. If anyone knows of a Compact / Decompact function that can convert a 500 character string to one of less than 256 characters (without the use of a DLL) I'd like to hear from you.
