Creating Custom Maps on Google My Maps

Are you looking for a way to create custom maps using existing maps? Look no further! In this article, we'll show you how to create one's own maps on Google My Maps by using an existing map as a base.

Getting Started

First, you need to create an account on Google My Maps. To do this, navigate to the Google My Maps website (here), click on "Get started", and follow the prompts.

Choosing Your Map Base

You can choose any existing map as your base. This could be a street view, satellite view, or even a specific route. Simply copy and paste the URL of your chosen map into the Google My Maps editor.

Customizing Your Map

Once you've added your base map to the editor, you can start customizing it. You can add markers, polylines, and even images to create a unique map. To access these features, simply click on the "Add marker" or "Add polyline" button.

Adding Your Own Customizations

Now that you've added your base map and customized it, you can start adding your own customizations. For example, you could add a specific route by clicking on the "Add polygon" button or even create a custom path by using the "Add shape" tool.

Sharing Your Map

Finally, you can share your custom map with others by saving it as an image or embedding it into a web page. Simply click on the "Share" button to download or embed your map.
