Creating and Customizing Maps on Google My Maps

Create a custom map by going to the Google My Maps website (here)) and click on the "Create" button in the top right corner of the map. Select "My Maps" from the dropdown menu.

To customize your map, you can add multiple markers, shapes, and overlays. You can also use the "Add to Map" feature to link your Google My Maps to other Google services like Google Sheets or Google Forms.

One of the key features of Google My Maps is its integration with other Google services. For example, you can add a marker that links to a specific Google Sheet or Form, and have it update automatically when new data is entered.

Customizing Map Appearance

You can customize the appearance of your map by changing the color scheme, adding labels and titles, and adjusting the size and position of the map.

Color Scheme: You can choose from a range of colors to match your website's theme. Simply click on the "Layer" menu at the top right corner of the map, select "Colormode", and then choose from the available color schemes.

Adding Custom Shapes

You can add custom shapes to your map by using the "Polygons" feature. Simply click on the "Add Shape" button in the top right corner of the map, select "Polygon", and then choose from the available options.

Vector Shapes: Vector shapes are more accurate than raster shapes (like images) and can be used to create complex shapes like roads or buildings. Simply click on the "Add Shape" button in the top right corner of the map, select "Polygon", and then choose from the available vector shape options.

Overlays

You can add overlays to your map by clicking on the "Add Overlay" button in the top right corner of the map. You can then select from a range of overlay types, including text, images, and shapes.

Text Overlays: Text overlays allow you to add labels or messages to your map. Simply click on the "Add Overlay" button, select "Text", and then enter your desired text.
