Workshop: Customise Google Maps

Find out how to add personalised routes, photos and landmarks to Google Maps and share them with others

Google Maps has rightly gained a reputation as a decent mapping and navigation system, making it useful both for peering into the back gardens of prospective neighbours and finding out the best way to get from A to B.

Now it’s possible to personalise these maps with your own content, including text, photos and ‘hand-drawn’ (actually mouse-drawn) directions.

Maps personalised in this way ­ Google calls them My Maps ­ can be saved and made public so that anyone can find them using Google’s search features, or shared among a select group of friends so, for example, directions to a party will remain secret.

This Workshop explores the basic features of Google My Maps.
