Creating and Using a Custom Google My Map

Creating custom maps using Google My Maps has become increasingly popular in recent years, allowing users to visualize data on a larger scale and make it easier to share with others. By customizing existing maps or creating new ones from scratch, individuals can add more context, labels, and features to their visualizations.

Creating a Custom Map

To create a custom map, users start by accessing the Google My Maps platform through the Chrome browser or the mobile app. They can then click on the "Create" button in the top right corner of the screen to select the type of map they want to create – either a satellite view, terrain, or street view.

Customizing Map Elements

Once the map is created, users can customize various elements such as labels, shapes, and colors. For example, they can add custom markers, polygons, or text labels to highlight specific areas of interest. Google My Maps also allows users to upload their own images or use pre-made templates.

Sharing Custom Maps

Customized maps created in Google My Maps can be shared with others through various channels such as email, social media, or by embedding the map on a website. Users can also download custom maps for offline use or integrate them into their own projects.
