Google My Maps now allows you to add photos, descriptions and websites to your maps. Not only can you search for towns and landmarks, you can also search and add specific places like cafes, museums and hotels. Recently, my mate visited from across the pond and once I'd hooked him up with an amaysim sim (can you say shameless plug?) I set him up with a personal tour map I'd created by adding multiple destinations to the map of my area.
And if you're like me you can rest assured knowing you can keep adding as many as you like on the map. You can also search for your destination and drop a ‘placemark' onto your desired destination. The bar on the left side of your map will allow you to create ‘layers'. Plan out every minute of your holiday by using separate layers to differentiate your daily adventures. Search and add specific places and destinations Here are some tips for getting the most out of Google My Maps. The Maps Gallery even has maps for the Top 50 places to see celebrities in NYC and Remote Islands of the World. You can create your own or, if you're lazy, just follow a ready-made road trip plan.
There are some great examples of what you can do with your maps in the Maps Gallery. Your maps are all stored conveniently on Google Drive and you can even group them into folders to keep them neatly organised. Add layers to your maps to add directions, draw lines that indicate routes, or colour code different places to represent restaurants offering similar types of food or your friend's addresses. The new features even allow you to create personalised maps based on your favourite coffee spots in the city or where you like going for runs. You can then share your map with your road trip companions so that others can put in the destinations that they want to visit. Plan out your next beach road trip by labelling points of interest, annotating your maps, colour coding and highlighting specific restaurants or cafes. Planning trips with friends have been made super simple with Google's new collaborative map-planning tool.
Plan group trips without the tribulations You can now pre-plan trips in your Google Drive, save routes and access them later when you're offline or on your mobile device – yeah, we're leaps and bounds past the old mud maps we used to make on brown paper bags.
