Creating and Customizing Google My Maps

Google My Maps is a powerful tool that allows you to create custom maps for your business, location, or any other purpose. With this article, we'll guide you through the process of creating and customizing Google My Maps.

Before creating a new map, go to the Google My Maps website ([https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1sRrBOr-NUHrHi_TK6dxssz-a_XrGsH8P](https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1sRrBOr-NUHrHi_TK6dxssz-a_XrGsH8P)) to access the map editor.
Click on the "Create" button and select "Map" as the layer type. This will open a new window with the map editor interface.

Once you're in the map editor, you can start customizing your map by adding markers, polylines, and other shapes using various tools such as the pencil tool or the rectangle tool.

Creating Custom Shapes

One of the most powerful features of Google My Maps is its ability to create custom shapes. You can use this feature to represent any object or data on your map, such as a building, a park, or even a specific location.

Custom Shape Example

This custom shape represents a specific location on the map. It can be used to highlight important information, such as a business address or a notable landmark.

To create a custom shape, simply drag and drop it onto the map editor interface. You can then adjust its size, color, and other properties to customize its appearance.
