Creating and Customizing Maps on Google My Maps

Google My Maps is a powerful tool for creating custom maps, allowing you to add markers, shapes, and labels to create unique visualizations.

Add Markers and Shapes

To add markers or shapes to your map, click on the "+" button in the top right corner of the screen. Choose from a variety of marker types, including simple markers, pop-up windows, and polyline routes.

Customizing Marker Appearance

You can customize the appearance of your markers by selecting the marker type, color, and size. You can also add a label to each marker using the "Label" option in the marker settings.

Navigating Labels and Legends

Labels are added to markers and provide text that describes the location of the marker. To view or edit labels, click on the label and select the "Edit Label" option. You can also customize the appearance of labels using the "Label Style" settings.

Simplifying Your Map

Google My Maps offers various options for simplifying your map, including adding a legend, creating a tile layer, and using overlays to display additional information.

For more advanced users, Google My Maps also supports custom polygons, rectangles, and text layers. These can be used to create complex visualizations that require precise control over the map's layout and design.
