Creating a New Map

To create a new map, go to the Google My Maps website and click on the "Create map" button in the top right corner. Enter your location (or set it as the origin) and choose a style for your map. You can select from various styles, including road maps, satellite imagery, or custom images.

Next, you'll be prompted to enter your data. This is where you can add markers, add labels, and even create custom polygons or shapes. To edit your map, click on the "Edit" button in the top right corner of the screen.


User Interface

The user interface for Google My Maps is intuitive and customizable. You can resize your map, change colors, and adjust font sizes to suit your needs. You can also add a compass or other navigation tools to help users navigate the data on your map.


Data Sources

Google My Maps supports various data sources, including Google Maps Street View, OpenStreetMap, and CSV files. You can import data from these sources by clicking on the "Import" button in the top right corner of the screen. This will allow you to create a map with custom markers, labels, and polygons.


Sharing Your Map

Once you've created your map, you can share it with others using the "Share" button in the top right corner of the screen. You can set permissions for who can view or edit the map, as well as add a link to embed the map in a website or document.
