Are you looking to take your marketing or organizational efforts to the next level? Look no further than Google My Maps, a web-based mapping platform that allows users to create custom maps for their business needs. In this article, we will explore how to create your own map on Google My Maps.
Google My Maps is based on OpenStreetMap (OSM), a collaborative project that provides editable maps of the world. To get started, simply go to the Google My Maps website and click on the "New Map" button in the top right corner.
Once you've clicked on the "New Map" button, enter your starting point by clicking on the map. You can use the latitude and longitude coordinates to position yourself or use the built-in tools to find a location.
Click on the "Add marker" button, then select the starting point you want to add. You can also add multiple markers by repeating this process for each location.
Once you've added your starting point, click on the "Add another marker" button. This will open a new window where you can enter additional coordinates or select from existing markers. You can also use the "Street View" feature to view 360-degree images of the area.
After creating your custom map, you have several options for sharing it with others. Simply click on the "Share" button in the top right corner of the map to enter a link or email address that allows others to access your map.
When creating a custom map, there are several best practices to keep in mind. Make sure to use clear and descriptive labels for each marker, and consider adding additional features such as traffic updates or weather forecasts.
