Google My Maps - www.google.com...
Google My Maps is a tool for creating custom maps. You can add markers,
routes, shapes and even set different map styles.
These maps can be shared or embedded on websites.
It's a useful tool for like planning a road trip or like mapping all the Starbucks in your city because it's open-ended - you can build all kinds of maps with it!
And while Google My Maps looks a little intimidating, it's really not. In this short video, I'm going to teach you how to master Google My Maps.
Let's go!

After searching all afternoon for a tutorial that actually teaches me something, I have found it! Thank you!!

[@stevebuildswebsites]

That’s awesome!! Glad to hear :)

[@JeniferRosenberg]

This is the best tutorial on this!

[@marwynng]

Really appreciate this well crafted, step by step tutorial! subbed. Will refer as well.

[@kristinedahms8886]

Excellent tutorial and appreciate your transparency. AtList looks great!

[@Salvador-h3x]

Good video, short and simple, but it seems more oriented to sell Atlist than to teach about Google My Maps.

[@Bee_Hive_10134]

I don't agree. I was actually going to say it's nice that someone is offering a tutorial on how to use a free option (in this case a competitor of sorts), which he did very well, and then showed us the limitations of Google My Maps and showed us **IF** we want customization... here's how you can achieve that (for a fee), which is reasonable to cover their costs.

[@marwynng]

@@Bee_Hive_10134 The pitch for Atlist was towards the end of the video already, and as a new user to Google My Maps, I think the instructions were sufficient and I was able to make my own as well. I agree with @Bee_Hive_1034, it is a simple case of giving something of value for free and showing there is a better option as well if you are open to pay a little bit more to be more flexible =). But I do get your point @Salvado-h3x, it does get tiring to see those kinds of videos that are just pushing programs or courses, but this one really delivered on the free information promised.

[@shahg5524]

So creating Custom Map looks easy. But how do you actually use. There is no option to get Google Map to navigate you a destination you have mapped out. Struggling to see what the actual purpose of these maps is if you can't use them to navigate to places ?

[@陈一土]

Hi Steve, great work ! Thank you so much for creating this website ! I am a subscriber to Atlas and was wondering how can I embed the Atlas map into Canva?

[@lycaenops]

Great !! I will give it a try, !! I think this will be really useful for my surveys

[@sherriemyers5429]

Just what I needed! Thank You!

[@stevebuildswebsites]

Glad it helped!

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@Erays_Adventures]

Amazing video!

[@JuanSanchez-ik7wx]

I selected the same base map as you. On your base map, there were several blue markers. On my base map there were many blue markers of random houses. There does not appear to be a reason for their presence, unless they were placed there by other users.

[@marwynng]

hi you can try to choose the other base maps, I had the same problem but do try the other ones which are blank. On a side note, its easier to work on the usual map and search for places, then just click on search on area. For example: hospitals a lot of hospitals will pop up but at the very bottom, you can select "search places near current view". That should help you click around and add them to the proper layer hope it helps! (oh and uncheck the layers that you do not need so they don't get mixed up )

[@vicharczewski1222]

Man you are great, i don't believe i will use Atlist at the moment cause the map is for a small project but in the future it may be my go to option. Really appreciate this, the explanation is super clear and i loved how you sadly confirmed my suspicions of lack of customization. Thank you!!

[@darryljude55]

Nice tutorial. But how do you access the maps you have created in Google My maps on my iPhone. I assumed that if I go to google maps ... off line maps the maps would appear there and be selectable but no the case. So now I'm confused.

[@sigegnbuayalew605]

thanks- great video

[@stevebuildswebsites]

Glad you liked it!

[@bee2beefree856]

Let’s say I already have multiple maps on Google My map, is there a streamlined way to migrate all of them into Atlist? I know Google My maps let you export as a KML/KMZ files. Do you support importing those kind of files?

[@Bee_Hive_10134]

That would be a sweet option, indeed!

[@randomdude5187]

Is there a way to remove borders of countries?

[@ShaileshKumar-io2zn]

Thankyou

[@stevebuildswebsites]

You’re welcome 😊

[@KesemPortugali]

HI .Thank you very useful. u r a good teacher. I have a WordPress website. I actually need this map to plane trip for my customer and share them a link into my website with all the map plane by layers (days). Is it possible to plane a map trip and add it to my page website? Thank you

[@roxy21th]

I really enjoy my maps but what its truly missing is an app on smartphone. The webversion is so difficult on smartphone

[@SandyStone-l9y]

Can you then use this on google maps to get from point to point??

[@stevebuildswebsites]

Yes! You can load the maps in Google maps 👍

[@juancarlossuchcanals1920]

Hello. I followed your advice for a long time and I have been improving. Today I have a problem. There are maps where I have put text with information and photographs at all points, but unfortunately when I have gone to open them in Maps it does not let me open them. If I remove information, it does let me. Do you know how we can find out the maximum capacity so that it lets me open it in Maps? How can I check the megabytes that each map "weighs"? Thanks,

[@CarloCasino-l5m]

Do the markers just act essentially as dropped pins? Is there a way to make it so that when I click on a marker, I can see it’s info as if I was looking at it normally on google maps?

[@stevebuildswebsites]

Yeah! If you click a marker, it will open a model where you can put information and photos - is that what you mean?

[@1Martyn1]

how do I map the walking and driving instructions to be precise? I have a huge festival coimg up and some areas are only walking, others are only driving. everytime I putting he second points it automatically draws the line and it goes into places that are 💯 off Limits to everyone.

[@IsobelBoyes]

Love this - is it available on smartphone??

[@stevebuildswebsites]

You can export the maps to the Google Maps app on your smartphone!

[@IsobelBoyes]

@@stevebuildswebsites Thanks Steve ☝

[@SandyStone-l9y]

Can this then be transferred to google maps for GPS??

[@stevebuildswebsites]

Yep - you can open these maps in your Google Maps app!

when using Atlist, how can I draw the perimeter lines?

[@purpleomm]

Hi Steve great mini tutorial - at 4.16 you demo the driving/walking routes under the draw a line option - the routes options seem permanently greyed out for me - any thoughts on why this might be ? all the other edit functions are working as expected !

hello sir how can I add the tropic of cancer in Atlist?

[@amounynos]

You didn't explain how to start driving the route from the first location to the last when you use Google Maps

[@wam7484]

Can I add a GPX off road route I download from internet?

[@trevhib]

yes, I have just done that very thing myself with an off-road run gpx file created and sent to me by someone else.

[@liyaprilipko1378]

probably, i can find the answer on alist website, but im going to ask here anyway, and can i embed atlist maps in my website?

[@liyaprilipko1378]

I found my answer! it was right there, just had to follow the link! Thank you so much for creating this tool, by far this seems something comprehensive and doable, (seems doable are really the keywords) in terms of creating a map for the webiste, AND you made it sound easy and not intimidating at all! big inspiration! thank you for your work! I will now dive into the free trial to see if the shoes fit ;p

[@stevebuildswebsites]

That’s amazing thanks for taking the time to follow up - let me know if you have any questions!

How do I remove markers from a satelite view map?

[@stevebuildswebsites]

Unfortunately, we don’t have a way to do that right now :(

[@paulantoinematos7291]

Hi! I have a map of the world, but I want it to zoom in when I click on a marker. How can I do it?

I don’t believe that’s possible with Google My Maps

Unfortunately not

Can you add distance radius

[@stevebuildswebsites]

I believe so

[@AnhDuc-p3w]

wow

[@snowbike8032]

Thank you so much. No matter what I click on it won't give me the option to click on walking vs. driving directions. That is greyed out. I am on the correct day.

[@stevebuildswebsites]

Oh weird. I'm not totally sure what's happening there 😬

[@PeggyMcGrew-p3e]

Please integrate with the Structured App

Can anyone I send my atlist maps to load them into their google maps or only someone who paid for it too?

[@stevebuildswebsites]

You can send individual markers to Google Maps to get directions but not all the markers!

[@skiflimedia6517]

There should be a 1 time fee to anyone who wants to create 1 simple map

We’ll be launching a free plan soon!!

[@samuelakpan8009]

Are they free?

[@stevebuildswebsites]

Google My Maps is free and Atlist is not

[@wildijp62]

At US$ 168.- / year makes it far too expensive for a seldom tourist trip. What a shame, the product seemed good 😢

[@stevebuildswebsites]

Yeah - we’d love to make it cheaper for those types of uses! We have to pay Google $0.009 every time a map is loaded so unfortunately we lose money if we’re not charging enough. Hopefully we can figure someway to get the cost down in the future 👍
