I will be in Dublin soon. I have about a dozen places I Want to visit. I would like to see a map where I can plot the dozen places and then see where they actually are located in relation to each other.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

I use googlemaps. You do need to login with a google account. Here is a wiki that shows you how to do it. https://www.wikihow.com/Add-a-Marker-in-Google-Maps

If you use the website visitacity.com, you can group your activities by day and proximity to each other. They show you the places on a map. As a bonus they tell you the time to walk, or by bus, or by car.
You just have to play around with the site.

Come to the Wanderlog tutorial tomorrow! https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/travel-meetings/san-francisco-east-bay-travel-group-mar-9-2024-online-everyone-welcome
We will be giving demonstrations of Wanderlog and TripIt. I don't know that much about TripIt, but on Wanderlog (which works with Google maps), you can map out your destinations, and it will show them all to you so you can see exactly where they are in relation to each other. For example, here is one entry for a day that I am in the Peak District. You can see the entries on the left, and locate them on the right-hand map. It has some very nice features. https://photos.app.goo.gl/hKaeo9bmcZ9JGnuM7

I am not a tech nerd, so maybe I am missing something, but I just saved places to Google Maps. It asks what list to save it to, so I create one for the city, choose an icon, save and it pops up on the map.
Now, these were businesses, museums or something that is already established on Maps. If it is individual addresses, I am not sure if it works.

Regardless of which methods you are taught here, I would make one strong recommendation.
Learn all about Google Maps and how to use them. Take tutorials if necessary.
These days, whereas I used to carry guidebooks, a laptop and other heavy things, now I just use my phone and Google Maps. Everything you could possibly need to know you will find there.

A poster on another thread mentioned Organic Maps app. It should do what you are asking.
