How to Make a Personalized Map With Multiple Places

Making a personalized map that includes many different destinations around the world is surprisingly easy thanks to modern technology. There are a few different mapping websites that allow you to create a map with directions to and from a long list of destinations. One such site is Google Maps, one of the most popular mapping websites around, where you can make your own multi-location map, then save it online or in your email account.

Instructions

    • 1

      Navigate to the Google Maps website.

    • 2

      Click the words on the left side of your screen saying "Get Directions," featuring two text bars labeled with green letters, A and B, next to them.

    • 3

      Type in the address of your starting location (if you don't need directions and just want a map with all of your locations, it doesn't matter what you start with) in text bar A. If you don't know the address, but you know how to find it on the map, you can right click on the spot and select the option "Directions from here" to have Google fill in the address or global coordinates of that location to the starting text bar.

    • 4

      Enter your second destination's address to text bar B, or find it on the map and have Google add the address or global coordinates to the text bar for you by right clicking and selecting "Directions to here."

    • 5

      Click the words "Add Destination" below the final text bar and type in the address of your destination to add a third destination. Alternatively, you can find the spot on the map and add its address or global coordinates by right clicking and selecting "Add a destination."

    • 6

      Repeat step 5 for as many locations as you want to add to the map.

    • 7

      Click the gray button at the top right of your screen that looks like an envelope to email yourself or anyone else your map. Enter the email addresses of whomever you would like to see the map. Now you will have the map saved as a link in your email for future reference.

    • 8

      Scroll down to the bottom of your list of directions and click the words "Save to My Maps" if you want to save your map online. You can now choose in the drop-down bar that appears to save it as a new map or as an existing one. The default name will be "Directions [your starting place] to [your ending place]". Click the gray "Edit" button that is now to the right of the title to edit the name or alter the map.
