Creating a Custom Map on Google My Maps: A Step-by-Step Guide

Create a custom map on Google My Maps using an existing location or business by following these simple steps. This interactive digital cartography tool allows you to explore, analyze, and visualize data in new ways.

1. Go to the Google My Maps platform and create a new map by clicking on the "New Map" button.
2. Enter the address or business location you want to create a custom map for. You can search by name, zip code, or city and state.
3. Click on the "Add a marker" button next to the location. This will open up a pop-up where you can enter additional details about your chosen location.
4. Enter the address, business type (e.g., restaurant, store), and any other relevant information to customize your map.
5. To make it more interactive, click on the "Add a custom shape" button and select from various options such as polygons or text labels.

Once you've created your custom map, you can use it to explore data such as customer demographics, sales trends, or traffic patterns. You can also share your maps with others by saving them as a public map or sharing the link via email.
