Creating a custom map on Google My Maps involves several steps. First, users need to create a new account or log in to an existing one. Once logged in, they can access the Map Maker tool and start designing their map.

  1. Choose a theme or style for your map, which can be customized with different colors, fonts, and imagery.
  2. Create a new view by clicking on the "View" button next to the map editor. This will allow users to add markers, shapes, and text labels to their map.
  3. Use the drag-and-drop feature to move markers around the map and arrange them in the desired order.
  4. Add shapes, such as rectangles or polygons, using the "Shape" tool or by clicking on the "Add shape" button.
  5. Add text labels using the "Label" tool or by clicking on the "Add label" button.

Once a map is created, users can share it with others by sharing a link to their Google My Maps account. This allows recipients to view and interact with the map without needing an account.

Sharing Custom Maps on Google My Maps

Users can share their custom maps by clicking on the "Share" button next to the map editor. They can then choose to share the map via email, social media, or by posting it directly to their Google My Maps account.

Sharing a custom map also provides an opportunity for users to add markers and other elements to the map, allowing them to collaborate with others on a specific project or campaign.
