I think it misses a lot from Sygic Travel, where you can plan with time schedule and can move pins if it take too much, but paying. For free, is having a lot

Hi from the UK. I am brand new to Google My Maps. I just sat through 2 other overcomplicated KZread tutorials on GoogleMyMaps and was just about to have a long break in frustration when I came across your video and I was just like yes! thank you! The 2 other tutorials couldn't even explain what layers were clearly and you just got straight to the point and explained it all clearly. Yippeee! I have started my first map.

hi - do you know how to change km to miles on my maps? thanks

This was helpful and I went to your tip jar to put a little something in.

I saved this as I wasn't quite at the planning stage when you published it. Now that I am, I've followed along and this is awesome! Thank you so much!!! 💖🚙🇨🇦

Ok WOW what a great share...definitely planning on using Google My Maps...step by step was awesome! Thank you Amber (& Lily) :-)

Professor Amber you rock. Beautiful and clear tutorial on map making. It was a delight to watch and learn from you. I'm a recently retired map maker (used ESRI & Google) and love your work.

This is a game-changer for tour planning. Thank you so MUCH!!

Watched a few tutorials, and yours is the best! Thank you!

Thank you so much. First tutorial that shows how to use what you planned. Planning is one thing, putting it to use is what its all about. Thanks once again.

I learned so much, you are a great teacher. I've used the my maps to plan motorcycle trips but I was uninformed about layers! This answered all the questions I didn't know to ask. Thanks!

Thanks!! I final understand how to use this to plan my trip.🥰

Absolutely OUTSTANDING video!!! So helpful for those of us who are slightly challenged in these areas😀🐾

Awesmome tutorial. Concise and to the point. Thanks for taking the time to make this. I can now use the maps tool to my advantage.

Very comprehensive.I learned a lot that I didn't know before. Thank you!

Very helpful! I had used a different online program, and it was much more clunky. I am definitely a planner, so this is great. Thanks!

Clear and to the point tutorial. Specifically liked layers with accommodations, sightseeing and friends&family separated and color-coded. Turning itinerary into a navigation on mobile device is still a mundane task but at least some solution. My moto trip planning before this tutorial was based on putting next gas station. And big problem was Google's limit of 10 points. Now with separate layers for gas and supply shopping places it can and will be done the easy way. Big thanks to Amber! Subscribed!

Absolutely brilliant, Amber!

Thanks for the info about route planning with google maps. An added bonus is that you are an RVer! My wife and I lived in our motorhome for 10 years, Workamped during the summer and traveled during the winter (to warmer climates)...We have been stationary for the last 10 years but still have the Gypsy spirit in us. I am planning a trip for a friend, driving her from Texas to New Hampshire via a wedding in Virginia and was looking for a tool to giver her an estimate of cost and time, this seems like a useful tool. We, wife and I, just completed a trip NH - CA and back with our newly acquired Electric Vehicle (EV) - a fun experience (can't be in a hurry though). While I use several other tools to identify the details of charging stations, it seems like this planner may be helpful for macro views. We did make extensive use of google maps for real-time GPS guidance. Anyway - Thanks for your clear explinations

This was ever so helpful, thank you so much!!

Thanks Amber! I too plan out trips using Google My Maps, but I learned some things from your video I didn't know about.

This was a huge help and the clearest one to understand by far. Thanks.

Thanks Awesome Amber !! Wonderful explanation. It makes travel planning much easier.

Thanks - so helpful! planning a trip and wasn't using the features in the best way. Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing!😊

fantastic tutorial I have been looking for weeks, thank you so much

This so helpful Amber. I’m going to use this when I drive my mom across the country.

Awesome tip! Thank you for being so detailed.

Amber, you have just given me a new super power, and now I am officially a part of the information elite. Thank you very much!

Thank you, thank you, thank you !!! You just made this woman's travel planning much easier !! GREAT tutorial !!

This was fantastic! I didn’t know this existed. Your tutorial was easy to follow and the perfect level of detail. I can’t wait to plan my first trip this way! Thank you!

Awesome tutorial on the maps and all of the tricks I never knew! Thanks for sharing! 👏👏👏

This is super helpful. Never heard of it until today and just got great tips from watching your video. Will be using to plan my next trip.

I love the full breakdown and I really look forward to spending many hours on this

Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you!

Great tutorial. Never have used the ruler or embedded web links in the add note section. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge.

This was extremely helpful. Thank you.

I'm planning my first trip using this method. Heading out in a few weeks. Kinda figured the pins out as I went from laptop and google earth to google maps and my iPhone. Thanks for the tips, very helpful.

Incredibly helpful! I use it but not to the extent you showed us. I just leveled up!! Thanks Amber.

Great information Amber! Thanks for sharing :)

fantastic.. planning european tour for 6 weeks in Campervan this guide will help greatly .

My husband and I are doing the Camino very soon and this has been very helpful for us, thanks

Amazing tutorial. You are a gifted teacher. Thank you so much.

Had NO idea Google Maps could do all this!! Fantastic tutorial! Thanks!

Thanks for this. Just planned a small trip to Wales from England.

Thank you so much for this! I’m about to go to Florida to visit my nephew traveling from California and stopping along the way to visit others as I go. Thank you!

Thank You so much for this tutorial on a part of Google Maps I never knew about. I used standard Google Maps to plan our 2020 (cancelled) road trip. Its re-planned for 2023 and I will be using My Maps for our 35 day trip (estimate 2500 - 3500 miles). Its our 5th/6th ?? road trip starting 1994 with a Rand McNally Map. That was our bible till 2018 when we bought a US Sat Nav (We are Brits) which got us through 9 States from Vegas to S.Dakota. Your tutorial will allow us to plan our longest trip yet - NC, SC, GA, Ala, Miss, La, Tx, Ark, Tenn, SC, NC - a huge loop. We will now not miss as many 'Places of Interert' as we did in 2018. Trawling through State Tourist Info on the web or on paper just takes to long during the trips. Again - thank you so much.

Thank you, thank you, thank you...you really helped me get used to this great tool. I had a couple of frustrating moments...but with rewind you helped me get the right process for mapping out my route.

Really enjoyed the info! Thanks 👍

Super helpful. Thanks a lot for putting all this info together.

Thank you. It's my first making and using my google map. Your video is very helpful.

This was super cool Amber! I couldn't quite figure out how to do this until your tutorial video :) I'm going to use this for my trip to Europe!

thank you so so much for this video. I am plannig a trip to Nova Scotia for 2022 and this will help emensely. Will certainly come back several times to get all the tips.

I watched several of how to use My Map videos. yours is the best.❤

Very helpful! Thank you for your awesome tutorial.

Thanks. Ive been using mymaps recently and just looking for ideas on how to enhance how I'm using it. Good to get your ideas. I use the layers for the different days or locations, but considering the way you do it by type and might re-organize. I also color by location, and I'm definitely going to change that to type. One question I still have is if I can re-organize the layers in the sorting priority I want, that you didn't mention. Good video - thanks!

You saved my life, Amber! Appreciate it!

Very useful, and well explained, thank you!

I didn't know Google had this. Now I feel more confident about planning my future trips when I start living out of my minivan. 👍🏻

This was an awesome tutorial. I was messing around with AAA Trip Tik today but I really like this Google maps. I had no idea I could do all that. Thank you! Planning my trip from TX to Maine. By way of Cleveland . Gotta go to the R&R Hall of Fame.

This is a Fantastic video. I've learned so much. Thank you.

thank you. extremely helpful walk through.

Thanks! Wasn't aware of this and I just set up our next road trip to Erie Pa...never been there.

Extremely well done, thanks I learned a lot.

Thank you so much for making this video! I am doing a road trip around France and later in Australia. The amount of map apps out there is a little overwhelming and I like to stick to apps within Google. Thank you for showing me how to use My Maps, it is fabulous.

Thank you for the clear tutorial.

Great tutorial. Well explained without a bunch of fluff. Also super cool is that lifestyle to explore the USA. One of my dreams. Very neat use cases. Thank you.

Thanks for the tutorial. U Rock!

Many thanks. I'm a long-time G-Maps user but didn't know of My Maps. I immediately tried it using the Chrome browser on my tablet and quickly discovered that it is difficult/impossible when using my finger as a mouse. A PC with mouse and keyboard seems to be the best (only?) way to use My Maps. Thanks again.

Fantastic thank you for such an easy to follow tutorial which I'm now using to plan my Scottish Islands road trip next week :)

Super helpful - thank you!

Came here in search of finding a legend on google maps when getting driving directions around Iceland. Didn't find that but I learned so much! Great instruction. If you know how to find a legend I'd love to learn! Thanks!

I came across this video looking for how to pin things on the map and I really love how you describe things. I learned the different icons and layers. I will sign up for the nomad boot camp. thanks again for the great video.

Thank you loads! I am planning a cross country road trip and looking for guidance. This is prefect I may be calling on you, Amber in the future!! Thanks again - Ed C

Excellent tutorial thanks.

Well done - slick and to the point. I am a newbie in the UK...

Thank you. This was very clear. I made up my map and am excited to see it all marked up! (I had ladybug stickers on a paper map before!) haha

You got me motivated to become a tourist and ease my trip with Google maps... layers in the maps is kind of lovely knowledge for me... thanks

Finally realised the potential of this tool. Thank you.

Wow ... this is excellent! I discovered several of the features prior to this video but the additional ones that you have mentioned will really come in handy. Thank you for the video.

Thanks for explaining how to USE My Maps! I put in a lot of time developing my route but was frustrated that I couldn't just follow the route. Your solution isn't perfect, but it is AN answer to how I can use the route... 1 step at a time. Frustrating that I manually moved the road that Google chose for me so I could stay along the coast, but I'll just do that on my own. THANKS!

The shock of grey is looking very cool!

Great tutorial. I created a 3,400 mile cross country trip from San Antonio, TX to Kent, WA. I noticed that My Google Maps doesn’t reflect or post traffic issues.
