My mapping needs are "approximate", I don't need anything to any real level
of precision. What I need to do is note that company XYZ has offices in San
Jose, Shanghai, and Bangalore and company ABC has offices in Boston, Austin,
San Jose, and Bangalore, etc. I then need to look at the map visually so I
can see where our various customer population densities are.

No, but I'd like to be able to capture information in a single tool so data
isn't scattered across multiple applications - I have that problem already.
It would be nice to visualize population density when looking at a map but
it isn't absolute requirement.
