  • Google Maps Route Planner is a tool (Google My Maps) that I'm going to show you how to use to plan the best route for your next trip including pinning all your places you want to visit, i.e. pin the restaurants, pin places to stay, pin things to do, pin destinations, pin hiking and biking trails, pin people to visit! It's easy and it only takes a few minutes to set-up and get you going once you know exactly what to do. Once you've pinned everything, you can then figure out where you want to travel to in that area. Google My Maps can seem a little daunting at first, but once you know how to use it, you'll love it!

    ★ My Story
    Hi, I'm Amber and in May 2017 I started full time RV living. I started this nomadic journey after selling my house and all my belongings to pursue this crazy dream of traveling full time in an RV and creating incredible memories.
    After 1 year of traveling, I sold my 26 foot Winnebago Class C RV for a more nimble Class B van on a Promaster 2500 chassis. Now in my 4th year of RVing in my camper van, I'm still loving this RV lifestyle and being a digital nomad. I almost always boondock in nature and really enjoy that off grid living.

      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

    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.

  • @tjjones390

    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!

  • @nicolawoolley5518

    Hi from the UK. I am brand new to Google My Maps. I just sat through 2 other overcomplicated RUclips 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.

  • @alexk9458
    @alexk9458 2 года назад +7

    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!

    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.

  • @jimvashro2872
    @jimvashro2872 Год назад

    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

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.

    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!
