Google My Maps is a powerful tool for visualizing and sharing geographic information with others. It allows you to create custom maps, add layers, and share them with others.

Step 1: Create a New Map

To start creating your own Google My Maps, simply click on the "My Maps" button in the top right corner of the Google My Maps interface. This will open a new map, where you can start adding layers and elements.

Adding Layers

Layers are the individual pieces that make up your custom map. You can add multiple types of layers, including terrain, satellite imagery, and markers. To add a layer, simply click on the "Add Layer" button at the bottom right corner of the map.

Adding Markers

Markers are used to identify specific locations on your map. You can add multiple markers by clicking on the "Add Marker" button and selecting from a range of options, including custom shapes and text labels.

Sharing Your Map

To share your custom map with others, simply click on the "Share" button at the top right corner of the map. You can choose to share the map as a public link or embed it into a website or document.
