Great video man 👍 I'd reccomend investing in a better mic tho and some video editing software. If done properly, even a headset mic can sound high quality for simple videos like this. For example, you could export your audio to audacity (a free audio software), select the audio clip, and edit the reverb and static noises. All in a few clicks. And you don't have to pay for video editing software either, there are lots of great free alternatives out there. I used to be a video and podcast editor not that long ago and from what i learned, even a 35 minute recording could be easily trimmed down to 20 minutes just by cutting out the pointless seconds of silence that come up here and there. And a couple of zoom ins here and there when you're pointing out something would be good too. All of this may sound like alot of work, but it really isn't once you get into it and get the feel for it. And it makes the video way more engaging for the viewers too. Good luck with RUclips man!
I am interested in learning about this and I'm sure you have knowledge, but this video plays like you didn't expect to be teaching someone how to use the maps feature today. I don't need or want to see you talking to yourself as you slowly decide what you want to show. My suggestion would be to sit down before you make the video and write out a plan of what you'd like to cover. A full script may not be necessary but at least an outline. Then record a video focusing on that lesson, and EDIT IT to cut out anything that is not you teaching the audience how to use this program. A stream of consciousness monologue is very difficult to follow and, frankly, boring to listen to. I got 2 minutes in, saw that the video was 24 minutes long and bailed. You cannot expect patience from an audience that has no reason to stick with you.
I have not the time or patience to edit for multiple reasons chiefly being that to make a video requires pushing through pain. I have a brain condition. Between dealing with intense headaches, dizzy spells, blackouts and ministrokes I don't have the time to go into any serious planning or editing. I see somebody wants help with something, if I can handle making the video I do so and give the link and then I go rest. If this means my videos are boring to you: so be it. Go find a different one. If it helps you, great. I do appreciate you taking the time to comment and provide advice, however rudely you have phrased such, but let me be clear: I have no interest in being a youtuber, I don't care about sub count or algorithm or any of it, even if I had the health and mental wellbeing to try. This is the best I can do. Take it or leave it.

Thank you for the advice.
Going to give a watch because there is not a lot of content for this, but yeah, it's SO quiet. Unable to listen without a headset.
