Creating a Custom Map using Google My Maps

You can create custom maps using the Google My Maps service. To get started, visit the Google My Maps website and click on "Create a map." Select a location or enter an address to start building your map.

Google My Maps Example

Here's what the Google My Maps interface looks like. You can customize your map with different types of markers, including red dots (information points), blue lines (routes), and green polylines (paths).

To add a marker to your map, click on the "+" button in the top right corner and select "Marker." You can then enter the location and name for your marker. Click "Save" to add it to your map.

Once you've added a few markers, you can use the "Layers" panel to organize your map by type. You can also add additional features like labels, directions, and photos.
