Google Maps: Creating, Saving and Sharing Custom Maps

[@annemariebegley8694]

This was exactly what I needed. I was lost in a google world trying to figure it out. So glad I found this video. And, now I am so excited to plan more trips. I did pause this video multiple times so that I could build a real, upcoming trip I have and it worked out great!

[@williamfitch1408]

An outstanding tutorial. I can't imagine why hardly anyone else has watched it or complimented it. I've just created a Jagger - Richards (Rolling Stones) birthplaces and schools tour of SE London. And in half an hour I'm going to jump on my Vespa and enjoy the tour using this map as my navigation. I just hop it all works. Thanks again.

[@kellybrown5994]

Got you now

[@luzie1354]

THANK YOU!!! I'm doing an internship where I have to use google maps to create my own maps. You literally saved me so many hours of trying to figure out how it works.

Really wish to thank you for creating the video. I was thinking how to go about using the Google Maps. Your presenation was very easy and detailed. Thanks alot.

[@indicababy]

Ok but how do I use this route on google maps app with directions?

[@purnimajain9959]

Thanks a lot for the video, very detailed explanations. Looking forward to creating maps for my next trip.

[@stevecolopy9617]

Perfect! Thank you for taking the time to do this.

[@cupa7755]

Thanks for the vid! Helped me alot with creating custom biking routes

[@lucadicriscio8182]

How do you view them from ur phone?

[@rocking1313]

Thanks for this tutorial. Q: How can I copy GPS coordinates from a KZbin travel video into Googlemaps and then use it while traveling on my iphone?

[@paulmakinson1965]

My google maps doesn't have the same menu content. There is no "Your Places" in that hamburger menu. All the tutorials and help pages seem to be irrelevant.

How can I share a map ?

[@S.I.B82]

Excellent thank you ,

[@Scarecroweb]

you talked about everything except what i was looking for and thats how to create a route of multiple waypoints and how to SAVE that route I've looked for this everywhere but cannot find it!

[@kennethsilvestri4161]

Simply, Thanks for this.

i want to drop a pin when i park in a parking lot. how do i use that pin to locate my car at a later time

[@zrohit]

When u have driving route, and places, how do u bring the places icon forward. The driving letters hide the icons, thanks

[@Carpface]

I'm wondering if you can help me. I made a custom map because my apartment complex is confusing. I made points and created a driving route, but when the link in shared, i don't think the use is able to start "live" driving directions, as if it were normal driving directions. Is there a way to get live google maps navigation for my custom map and points?

[@WandererBell]

Excellent explanation.

[@vishnus2567]

if there is more than 1 route to reach my home.Then how to share my home location to a friend with a specific location ?

[@shadowplaytransit8425]

Great video, thanks so much! I do have one problem. I've made my personalized tour but my destination has no internet reception. Is there a way to execute this customized tour offline.

[@user-ms4ju2si2e]

Thanks for the tutorial. I am wondering why I can't seem to access my descriptions on my custom maps on the mobile version. The first icon always displays perfectly and all icons after this, show no description. Did you find a work around? Thanks, Saskia

[@dallasrieck7753]

welcome back?

[@aram5642]

Is it possible to share a map or a list as a layer, so that others can subscribe to it and turn it on and off as they view their maps for any other purpose? Like when a user looks around a neighborhood while trying to find a new apartment and they say: let's now see where is the closest Restaurant X layer or closest collect box station or closest bus stops. That kind of thing.

[@kidspuzzle5106]

thank you for that, but how can we make it live in google map ??

[@THEHOAG4]

That's what I'm wondering I can create the map but can't put it in the GPS

[@losangulos]

I need to mark a route i phisically traveled, like the app "My Tracks" which doesnt exist on iphone.

[@skohaya]

How can you create a new Google Contact from your Google Map location where it populated the Name, Address, Phone number. I think Google had this years ago but lost the lawsuit. Any work around?

[@jeffmckeown9639]

Can you pull them in to Android Auto Play? I made and shared new maps but I couldn't pull them when I'm AAP.

[@user-uk3ls6mq6l]

Hi. In my Google Maps I have made my own categories to save my locations.... for example....RESTAURANTS, BARS, MALLS, PARKS etc... I see on the left of each category there are a few little lines, the type of lines you should be able to touch and drag each category where you want it. I'm not sure why those lines are there because they will not move for me, all it lets me do is arrange the locations within the categories. Any idea how I can arrange the categories the way I want them. They're not even in alphabetical order, not that it matters because I prefer to put the categories in order of importance to me. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

[@stephenmauro1770]

Good video. How can I import my county GSI MAP into my Google map. So I will have owners names and property lines?

[@S.I.B82]

How long does it take to appear on the map? Because my friend did not see the site? Thank you

[@_DP_99]

22:21 They've completely changed how the share options look now. I can't seem to get it so that someone can view the map without being logged into a google account..

[@karenbobst2625]

Can you possibly help me? Someone else created a Google Map for me, and shared it with me, but is there a way for me to SAVE it and MAKE IT MINE? I have used this map for 4 years - adding and updating it as needed, but the person who "owns" it is no longer employed by the same company. So how can I claim ownership of it?

[@RidingBones]

thanks, but how do I use it? I set my map, now I want to use my phone to go from point a to b to c, etc, and I do not see how that is possible. Also, thanks for the video, its awesome!

[@kennethbatlle5108]

Felicidades

[@lucadicriscio8182]

Anyone know how I can view the MyMaps routes that I created from my mobile phone and use them for directions?

[@coconutz247]

like! google maps is washed out color. how do you add contrast to see streets better?

[@krystalannawilliams2653]

Can you take pictures of different maps

[@jacobcohen6610]

How to see how long it takes to get to each location via public transit? It's conspicuously missing from saved maps. Workaround?

[@fouresterofthetrees287]

Great tutorial. I used the Draw a Line function to lay out a bicycle tour loop called Bike Loop. I then closed it, clicked on the hamburger>Your Places>Maps>Bike Loop>Open in My Maps>directions from (Address) (the three dots)>Step-by-step directions. The directions for the entire loop popped up, which is great. Question: Can I open this Bike Loop Map step-by-step directions in the Google Maps App on my Android device and have the App give me voice directions as I ride this route? So far, I have not been able to figure a way to do this.

[@opnognego5685]

I have the same questions. Have you been able to figure out since? I was hoping to use the map I created and then put it on navigation, but I am not able to figure it out.

[@fouresterofthetrees287]

@@opnognego5685 Sorry to say I have not. I have not heard back from the creator of this video either.

[@opnognego5685]

@@fouresterofthetrees287 No worries. I found that the only way you can use the created map is Point 1 to Point 2, once reached point 2, then open the map back up again and then select Point 2 to Point 3. if that make sense.

[@AliciaMartinez-ct4ic]

Thank you for the detailed & excellent tutorial. I was wondering if there was an option under the section Uniform Style to quickly download/share just one location. Is this possible? The Share button only shares the whole file which I am trying to avoid. ANY suggestions, welcomed...

[@trimerista]

is it possible for example.... to make gmaps remember exact route where u passed, so you could go exact route with directions later

[@BoomChild74]

If you find out the answer to that, let me know! That would be a great feature.
