What are Google My Maps?

Google My Maps is a free online service that allows users to create custom maps, add markers, labels, and other elements to visualize information.

Creating a Map on Google My Maps

1. Go to the Google My Maps website and sign in with your Google account.
2. Select "Create" from the top navigation menu.
3. Choose a template or start from scratch by clicking on "Blank" and then selecting "Google My Maps."

Adding Elements to Your Map

You can add markers, labels, polylines, and other elements to your map using the toolbar or by clicking on the "Add" button.

• Markers: Add points of interest like locations, landmarks, or events. You can also use Google My Maps to create custom markers that are linked to specific websites or websites with a particular description.
• Labels: Use labels to highlight important information on your map, such as directions, phone numbers, or dates and times.
• Polylines: Create lines to represent different paths, like roads, trails, or rivers. You can also use polylines to connect multiple markers or add a grid system to your map.

Sharing Your Map with Others

Once you've created and added elements to your map, you can share it with others by right-clicking on the map and selecting "Share." You can choose to share the map publicly or privately.
