Creating Your Own Custom Map on Google My Maps

A custom map is a personalized digital representation of your location, created using Google's mapping service. By creating your own custom map, you can display important information in an easy-to-read format.

• To create a custom map on Google My Maps, simply visit the website and click on the "Create" button.
• Next, select the type of map you want to create (e.g. street view, satellite view, etc.).
• You can then add layers to your map by clicking on the "+" icon in the bottom left corner. Add images, markers, or other content as needed.
• Customize your map's appearance and layout by adjusting the zoom level, map type, and more.

One of the benefits of creating a custom map is that you can add important information to the map, such as addresses, phone numbers, or notes. You can also use Google My Maps' built-in services like Street View or 360-degree imagery to enhance your map's accuracy and visual appeal.

Adding Images and Markers

• To add an image to your custom map, click on the "+" icon in the bottom left corner and select "Add image." Choose a photo from your computer or upload one from Google Drive.
• Next, click on the image you've uploaded and then select the location on your map where you want to place the marker. You can also drag and drop the marker to its desired position.

Adding Layers and Markers

Markers are essential components of a custom map, as they allow you to identify specific locations on your map. To add a marker, click on the "+" icon in the bottom left corner and select "Add layer." Choose the type of marker (e.g. point, circle, polygon) and customize its appearance.

Customizing Your Map

To fine-tune your custom map, adjust the zoom level, map type, and other settings as needed. You can also use Google My Maps' built-in services like Street View or 360-degree imagery to enhance your map's accuracy and visual appeal.
