Default How to display map that user selects region

Jack,

You could have an Excel event capture when a client clicks on a certain
cell. You could then launch a browser, or embed one in your current
spreadsheet. Using the DOM (document object model), you could recognize when
certain events occur in the browser and pass that information back to Excel.

I want to have an Excel column that would specify a location region. And to
make it easier I would like Excel to bring up a map when the user clicks on
the cell, and then allow the user to click a region on the map which would
then close the map and display the name in the cell. How would I go about
doing something like that? I presume I need a macro. I have a computer
science background, but not in macros.
Thanks!!
