Let me know if I should do a Part 2?? Watch Next ❤ How to find the CHEAPEST flights on Google Flights! (Money Saving Guaranteed) ruclips.net/video/zRyI5fQpsrM/видео.html
I'd love to know some tips to get enthusiastic about researching travel. I have a trip to Northern Europe in summer 25 and it's my first trip in many years without my travel agent organising everything for me. Apart from my regular things I like, trains and boats, and visiting great architecture, I am not one to spend hours researching every aspect, but I still like to have bookings made in advance. How do you recommend getting excited about the planning?
I have been using it for my son’s climbing trips. When we go to a new city, I mark hotels, make notes to remember the amenities at each hotel and make all restaurants. I love the directions and measurements functionality. This has been a game changer!
Though I'm an Indian from interior south India I'm getting more and more fascinated by your videos. Your simple to understand language, narrations, guidance, maximum use of the tools including time, money, luggage, technologies, online stuff, organiser etc., etc., by minimum investment from my side. Nowadays my search for your videos becomes more intense than my early morning bed coffee. I'm in my mid 50s after chasing money on all these years to settle decently and settled in my house with my kids and grandkids, still I feel I missed a life which you are enjoying. But, now I have started to explore my own country itself by using your vital inputs. Still I'm a toddler for this life. But you are making it a lot better. Thanks a lot Bro...
Wow, I’ve watched countless videos on how to create a map and access it on my phone and could never figure it out, until now! Omg, you explained it so simple even I could do it. Thank you.🙏 I’m still working on figuring out how to view it on my phone where it’s easy to follow at my destination and doesn’t appear cluttered with so many other icons that I don’t want or need.
Very well done. I use My Maps extensively when planning long RV trips. Rather than using layers for each day I use them for categories of things. I have one for National Park units, another for places to camp/stay, another for hikes to do, etc. Also, there is a limit of 10 layers and that includes the driving direction layers. That can be limiting. I’ll look forward to part 2.
Thanks David, I’d love to see examples of how you did the layers for categories and then how you planned your trips. Did you use Google My Maps to also plan your driving directions?
This was by far the best tutorial on using Google My Maps--including the perspectives of why you would want to use this feature, how to create the map, how to use the map on your phone, and how to share the map. Thank you!
Maybe I've seen tutorials covering Google Map planning but your tutorial was easy to follow and did EXACTLY what I was looking for. The maps I created were titled Country names, the Layers were towns and cities in that country and then, of course, I added hostels, cafes, bars and other places in that particular city/town to my Layer list. Fantastic ! Thank you for teaching an old dog new tricks !
Awesome video! I was unaware of this powerful tool and plan to use it for an upcoming trip. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in an easy to follow and understandable format. Looking forward to Google My Maps Part 2 🤞
I use everything Google and never knew about this feature/tool. This is amazing! I would always have to use something else (another app, a list, etc.) but this is awesome that it will directly integrate with Google Maps once set up. Would love a part 2 to this! Thanks for the info!!
I've just spent the last hour or so unsuccessfully trying to work out how save a route/trip in Google Maps. THANK YOU for this video! I will save and rewatch until I have this down!
Thank you very much for this tutorial. I've created a map with all LPG (Autogas) stations in Germany, Austria, Italy and Slovenia. Unfortunately you can not show the POIs during a navigation, but you can add a POI as stopover.
I think I would simply get the address and go and be practical about it. Now that I've seen how you use the tools but also link each tool for a reason, it made me think. I would never just change the icon for example but now I see why that would be helpful. The link to the websites directly to see opening times or ticket prices for example is also very handy. At the end I got pretty exited to see how this could work indeed as a combo. Very well done, so a like and subscription from me.
EXCELLENT tutorial!! I had done a map myself with basic pins for London, but I had forgotten how to do it. Here you have explained it step by step soooooo well. And I have learned so much more of wonderful thngs I can add. Thanks
This was an awesome tutorial and I would love to see a part 2. I’d also like to see how you would plan a trip if you knew nothing about the area you are going to. It seems like you already knew about the places you were going to visit.
I've got to say that with the general availability of Google Gemini, most of your planning can be done in minutes if not seconds. I planned a motorcycle trip from Copenhagen to Croatia with suggested motels, sightseeing points, itineraries, etc, for a 2 week trip. Gemini spat out everything including routing in about 30 seconds
Super comprehensive guide. Really appreciate you taking time to show us. I am going to be using this to plan my trip now . Anything else you can show us would be great.... would love another video showing in more depth how to use this planned maps once you're on you're trip. Can you plan an actual route and see it as a line??
I'm so glad I found you just right on time! I'll be going to visit Vienna in October for 2 weeks. Your tutorial will be very helpful. I'm so grateful for your hardworking. Thank you so much!!!!
My Maps has for sure become my favourite tool for planning travel. I recommend to anyone and everyone I get the chance to. This was a great video. Part 2 please!
How do you use it when you are there? I am trying to go from point one to point two. the map closes after tapping point one and going back. You cant go to the point from the list.
Awesome, never heard of the tool, which makes me look like a fool :P But, I believe we can always learn from others. For sure it makes traveling a lot easier, thanks for the video. By the way, I've been following your YT growth for some time now, really great channel, you have a bright future, for sure.
From a fellow My Maps aficionado, great tutorial! I organize my layers by lodging and activities, but I like the idea of doing it by travel day. Well done!
Thanks for this video. I'd heard of Google My Maps but wasn't really sure how to use it. This is so helpful. Thank you! And yes, a Part 2 would be awesome!
Love the concept. However I have not found a way to make a route useable. Meaning once a route is create in “my maps” it does not have turn by turn directions to allow for navigation. Love your overview. Many thanks
This is excellent! I added our destinations day by day but then when I tried to go back and add layers for walking directions I cannot seem to add those walking directoins and the layer it added was then out of order or way at the bottom of the list.
Excellent explanation, and thank you for the work you’ve put into this video. It seems that no matter how many Google My Maps tutorials I watch, nobody talks about a question that I keep asking. If I’m visiting Ireland and relying on My Maps, chances are I will NOT have either cellular service nor Wi-Fi connection (if I’m wandering the streets, etc). So, will I be able to use My Maps offline like I can use regular Google Maps offline..?? Thanks Cheers from Canada
BRILLIANT! Please do a Part 2! I came across this video as I was seeking something about automatic route optimization (which apparently doesn't exist for us regular folks but is available as something delivery services pay for). Can you make it so it ONLY shows the items you have chosen for your layer(s)?
Great video that even I can follow (I'm definitely not tech savvy)! Your explanations are always clear and understandable in all your videos. Please do a part 2! ;)
Great tutorial. I am off to London this week...I am a baby boomer so my learning curve is behind yours but I know I can use all this info you provided!
Great vid mate but I think you should have mentioned firstly that My Maps cannot be used for guided navigation. I spent three hours making a route that I then couldn't follow while riding a motorcycle. Apart from that great vid!
I love using my maps even though there a few limitations. For example, you can only have 14 layers and when you use the 14 layers, Google maps does not want to show it on my laptop, only on my phone. Thanks for the nice video!
That was extremely helpful...thank you! I was simply adding points to google maps and then saving them off, but the app is limited to only 8 points of interest. My Maps alleviates that restriction. Cheers! 🙂
It worked very well for my desktop. But when I tried to use it on Pixel 7, I was able to see the several layers, but when I tapped any one of them, nothing happened. I was hoping to use the Layer I made for directions from point a to point b, but when tapped nothing happened. I have the latest Maps version. What gives?
Is it possible to import the stars, hearts & other places I saved on Google Maps? Otherwise it sounds like restarting from scratch. I gots hundreds of saved items...
Hmm, I'll have to try this again sometime on my Samsung tablet, cos even with my Samsung phone I can't access all the stuff you're talking about. Looks promising though. I'm a huge fan of Google maps so i assume this is that on steroids
hi, great video thanks. You say it intengrates with a cell phone which is where I am confused. . I've created a 'my maps', plotted a walking route, added turn by turn directions as you did but how do you then see that on my cell phone as actual directions given to me rather than just viewing the route.
Let me know if I should do a Part 2??

Wow- I struggled plannning things with Google Maps - was unaware of Google My Maps. Would love a part 2.
Awesome! Thanks for watching ❤️
I have been using it for my son’s climbing trips. When we go to a new city, I mark hotels, make notes to remember the amenities at each hotel and make all restaurants. I love the directions and measurements functionality. This has been a game changer!
It really is a game changer! Thanks for watching ❤️
If you could make a secondary tutorial to explain how to give a running, point to point, non-stop journey using google maps, that would be great!!
this please
Yessss

Thanks for sharing!
WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE NATIONAL PARK UNITS! Could you please make them public and share them if you can? Would be super grateful @davidlegge8303

This was my go to tutorial when planning my trip to Italy. EXCELLENT job!
EXCELLENT tutorial!! I had done a map myself with basic pins for London, but I had forgotten how to do it. Here you have explained it step by step soooooo well. And I have learned so much more of wonderful thngs I can add. Thanks
Definitely need a part 2! I really like the day layers you used. I think we'll be using this for our upcoming trip now.
Thank you! I tried it before and gave up as I found it impossible to figure out how to use! Now able to create itineraries with ease!
This was an awesome tutorial and I would love to see a part 2. I’d also like to see how you would plan a trip if you knew nothing about the area you are going to. It seems like you already knew about the places you were going to visit.
Excellent Tutorial - Thank you. I have been travelling for a while, but never used this feature for planning. Thank you for sharing it
very useful, definitely do a part 2

Wow!! This is life changing for me. I had no idea I could do all these with Google Maps. Thank you so much for this video!
Interesting tutorial. Allows to look on a travel planning from a new angle.
I would definitely give it a try when I get a chance to travel again!
I’m kind of having trouble but I’ll learn soon!! Thanks from Brasil!!!👍
Fantastic instructions, at last someone has explained Google My Maps and how to use it.
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching! ❤️
I think it is intentional that they made using MyMaps so painful
Awesome, never heard of the tool, which makes me look like a fool :P But, I believe we can always learn from others. For sure it makes traveling a lot easier, thanks for the video. By the way, I've been following your YT growth for some time now, really great channel, you have a bright future, for sure.
Thanks you so much for watching and the kind words!❤️
Excellent tutorial showing all the functionalities!
From a fellow My Maps aficionado, great tutorial! I organize my layers by lodging and activities, but I like the idea of doing it by travel day.
Well done!
Thanks for sharing and watching our video❤️
Great video-I love detailed trip planning. Which features of this, if any, are available when there is no cell service?
Great video 👍🏻
But then how to use the planning to actually navigate as a GPS ?

I haven’t tried this in a while, but with standard Google maps, I’ve printed the overview and details to PDF. Easy to store, share and view offline.
Very helpful. This answered all my questions 😀👍. Appreciate it 😊
BRILLIANT! Please do a Part 2! I came across this video as I was seeking something about automatic route optimization (which apparently doesn't exist for us regular folks but is available as something delivery services pay for).
Can you make it so it ONLY shows the items you have chosen for your layer(s)?
Hi, after creating my direction layer walking tour, can I actually navigate live on my phone ? How
Thank you so much, regards from Perú 😊
Super helpful! Thanks!
Great video that even I can follow (I'm definitely not tech savvy)! Your explanations are always clear and understandable in all your videos. Please do a part 2! ;)
I am glad it was easy to understand! Thanks for watching❤️
Great tutorial. I am off to London this week...I am a baby boomer so my learning curve is behind yours but I know I can use all this info you provided!
I need to know how it looks and how it works in a mobile device the adding directions feature.
Great vid mate but I think you should have mentioned firstly that My Maps cannot be used for guided navigation. I spent three hours making a route that I then couldn't follow while riding a motorcycle. Apart from that great vid!
Great video with good tips, thanks for it. ;)
A great help in making a travel plan.
amazing video! I used it as a follow-along tutorial to create a travel plan for Savannah!
That is great to hear! Thanks for watching ❤️
Very helpful. Liked & subscribed :)
thanks for watching and subscribing!
Nice video... to the point. Thank you so much. :-) Love from India
I love using my maps even though there a few limitations. For example, you can only have 14 layers and when you use the 14 layers, Google maps does not want to show it on my laptop, only on my phone. Thanks for the nice video!

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching
thanks for sharing these infos, appreciate it a lot
YES! PLEASE DO A PART 2!!!!
Thats amazing! thank you the guide
Can you enter your stops and then have google maps arrange them in most efficient order?
It worked very well for my desktop. But when I tried to use it on Pixel 7, I was able to see the several layers, but when I tapped any one of them, nothing happened. I was hoping to use the Layer I made for directions from point a to point b, but when tapped nothing happened. I have the latest Maps version. What gives?
thanks helpful information
Amazing video, thank you!!!
Yes please do a part 2!
fantastic! thanks!
nice. very useful.. will try for next travel plan
Yes to part two, please.
Yes, part 2 please!
Thanks for watching❤️
Thank you !!! Going to try this for my trip to Japan !!
I would highly recommend it! Thanks for watching our video❤️
I did it my trip to Japan last year. Worked like a charm. Plus used Wanderlog.
Is there a way to plan the route and then have it act like a GPS Through your directions?
At 10:15, how to connect pins on map to create walking tour. THANK YOU!!
This is what i need to work out school bus routing, I'm very new and they don't have nav on bus yet.
Can't look at gps but my assistant could
Is it possible to import the stars, hearts & other places I saved on Google Maps? Otherwise it sounds like restarting from scratch. I gots hundreds of saved items...
Thank you!
Would love part 2.
Hmm, I'll have to try this again sometime on my Samsung tablet, cos even with my Samsung phone I can't access all the stuff you're talking about. Looks promising though. I'm a huge fan of Google maps so i assume this is that on steroids
Thanks for the info! But...how do I get the route to "start"? I see the directions on my saved maps, but I can't find a way to start the directions.
I've been doing this for years. I never travel without a custom map.
hi, great video thanks. You say it intengrates with a cell phone which is where I am confused. . I've created a 'my maps', plotted a walking route, added turn by turn directions as you did but how do you then see that on my cell phone as actual directions given to me rather than just viewing the route.
Best tutorial!
Glad you found it helpful!
