How to create a custom Google Map with Route Planner and Location Markers - [ Google Maps Tutorial ]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2018
- In this video tutorial, I will show you how to create a custom Google Map with Route Planner and Location Markers.
Here are the key concepts you will learn in this video tutorial:
Create a Google account
Go to Google Maps: www.google.co.uk/maps
Select "Create Maps" from the Maps Tabs
Zoom in to your start location on Google Map
Add a title for Map and an optional description
Select the type of route - In this tutorial, I will use "Add walking route"
A single click on the Map to mark the start location
Start to draw the route on Map / Tip: Hold down the left mouse button to move the map
Double left mouse click to mark the endpoint on your Google map
Add a new layer then add a custom marker for displaying a stop-off point or point of interest / Tip: Add a custom icon
Add a custom image for the new marker on the map
Add a title for the custom marker
Add a new layer to create a new path to a different location from the last endpoint
Find a point on the new path and click to adjust the path
Give the new path a title
Click preview to display demo custom map
Click the share button
Select the correct sharing option for your map:
On - Public on the web - Anyone can find and access a map
On - Anyone with a link - Anyone who has the link can access
Off - Share with specific people
Option 1 - Copy the map URL and send it to someone via email or social media post
Option 2 - Click "Embed on my site"
Custom Google Maps are great if you want to share a planned route with friends, clients or family. I often use a Google Maps Route Planner when I am on holiday to make sure I get to see all the places using the quickest quote possible. I have also used a custom Google Map to build a charity walking route for a client project. The map was embedded on the client's website and also sent out as a link via email to participants.
If you are not sure how to get the map working on your website, then simply contact your web designer for assistance or watch this tutorial: www.dcpweb.co.uk/blog/how-to-...

Thanks, mate! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Cool 😎 have fun learning new skills 👍
How do you add the route you created to the Google Map GPS?
That's not possible
Thank you
Is there any way to remove the A and B markers ?
Just starting to learn about this feature, found your video, an excellent beginners tutorial cheers James from Vancouver Island 🇨🇦
Thanks 👍
Five stars and two thumbs up! Thank you for a very quick and easy-to-follow tutorial. 🙏🏽
Thanks 👍
Awesome tutorial video! Just the video i needed for my business, this will make my life easy thanks to you keep it up!
Cool 😎 thanks !
The crappy thing about Google Maps is that Your Maps can't be used for step-by-step directions and you can't share a custom route you create in Maps. The option to share is there but the link it shares uses the starting and ending locations and will default to the most efficient route. Google needs to combine the 2 options.
Agreed 👈
Excellent Video, This makes backpacking in South America so much more efficient. Cheers Man!!!

I do a lot of hiking and while conceptually it would be good to share routes this way, it doesn't seem to like off road walks. I can use the measuring tool to measure a visible trail, but when I try to walk it, the default jumps from my starting point to the nearest road. Maybe I need to fiddle with it more. Your video has given me something to think about. Cheers.
Thanks, I will try to find out how to make a off road walking route...
Good! Thanks!!

Hello, thank you for the very well-explained video! Do you know if you can change the route color to something other than blue? It's really hard to distinguish them if they're really close together.
Not sure I will have to research that...
Nice job... helped a lot.

Hi mate this video is great but i'm just looking how useful for delivery jobs, i have one doubt if we have 10 delivery's in a 10 different places, how can we know to do a particular delivery first after location marking and does google maps shows next delivery to do, which is near to us? ( like so and so address is near to you, so you need to go there first and it i'll consume the time and go for next delivery).
nice man thanks for this video
Thanks 👍
Cheers this was really useful ,( thats some walk to see a West Ham team struggling to stay in the Prem !! . Id suggest getting the 25 bus ! ) Your section on embedding it on a Web site was a bit fast . But many thanks . R (I used to live on the Romford Road. )

Hi: I need to create a route for specific latitudes longitudes that I have already plotted in the map. Need to generate a map that opens on a phone and shows the directions based on the specific latitudes/longitudes. Would be great if you can provide any suggestions!
I think you can do this using CSV import support.google.com/mymaps/answer/3024836?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en&oco=1
Might also be helpful support.google.com/mymaps/answer/3502610?hl=en&ref_topic=3024924&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&oco=0

hey thanks for the video ...i use this method for multiple stops but all the time i get to one of the destinations then google gives the option to continue to the next destination and then i have to click it. Is there a way you can automatically continue to next destination without having to click on the continue? cause its so annoying
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Thanks 👍
Have fun 👍

Thanks 😎
Still helpfull in 2022. Ty man
Great 😃
Great video and info. Thank you.
- I'm pretty sure one can NOT route more than 10 stops/locations. There is a trick to adding more but it's a PIA.
- If one is ever in need of wanting to 'stop' at a bunch of random stops/locations... google can not create the "best route"... mapquest, which do not like, can.
Thanks for the info 👍

This is very helpful, I've been considering starting a bus company. I've been struggling to use this and I somewhat gave up, I would try again
Great 👍

I really loved your video. Can you make google assist tell you the roads so we can track like normal location!
Thanks 👍 no I don't think that is possible
Fantastic!! I have tried to uses Google Route Planner and always come unstuck. Your post really will help me plan many walks now I am unable to drive anymore. Good on Ya Mate!! Definitely subscribed.

I needed to create a parade route around to elementary students' houses and I had no clue where to start. Thank you for posting this video it was soooo helpful!
Awesome 🚀 thank you 👍
is there a way to save and share a customized route?
Yes I show how to do this at the end of the tutorial
How can you use this map now for live directions? It only allows it to be viewable, if you want to select a point to travel to it generates a faster route to take not the one you create. I made one for a scenic route not wanting to go the fastest route. Also, is their a way to edit the fastest route and save it as your own?
Thanks
No this map cannot be used for live directions, you must also manually select the ruote
So you share the link but then your friends need direction for the car GPS or SatNav to get to the start of the walking path. Of course they will all be starting from different locations. So is there a way to create a real time directions that person could interact with to get there.
Tracks are great but static.
This was a really insightful video and helped a lot with creating a map, thanks so much
Great 😀 thanks 😎
Thank you.Great and simplified tutorial for me as a beginner. Could you tell me how to add a flight.ie we flew from nz to uk,heathrow.kind regards tony
Not sure that is possible :(
Great tutorial!
You don't need to draw the route.
Just select the start and finish locations and that's it.
Cool 😎 thanks for the tip 👌
But you can indicate some more places you want to pass on the way !
I was wondering why you were drawing !
Thank you! Is there a way to run your custom map in real-time navigation (like how Google Maps will give you real-time directions while you're driving from location A to B)?
Thanks 👍 I dont think that is possible
Would be awesome if you can give me a Google review to help my business 👍
g.page/dcpweb/review?gm
@@dcpwebdesigners Can't run the map in navigation mode... garbage, utter garbage.
Only do-able on desktop? Or can I create plan route from my iPhone or Apple Watch? If I go to desktop from iPhone I can’t seem to do it?
Wonderful video thank you so much 🤙🏼
Only desktop
I want to make a trip for myself when I'm doing a roadtrip to norway this year. Do you know if i can save the trip on my maps, so it will also be there when i do the trip with the navigation on my phone?
Hi, the map you create will not work on directions for car, you can only use it for basic navigation like when you are walking
Nice video. Can you see elevation of a bike ride?
Wonderful tutorial. Loved it. How do I make the map as a video and incorporate it on a you tube video as a map showing my walking tour starting from point A to Point B ?? Any idea ?
Hmmmm not sure, I will have to research that...
Good tutorial! Is there any way to measure the total length of the route, after its created?
Try using the ruler on the map?
Thank you for this! you know how google maps recites directions for you, anyway to get google maps to read directions aloud for the customized maps as well?
I don't think that is possible
@@dcpwebdesigners Thank you, good to know!
hi
first, I d like to thank you so much for such valuable information which I have tried for months to discover by myself & failed
second I d like to know, can such custom-made routes be used as a real-time step-by-step guide? I mean like a normal GPS guidance?
and if this can be done please show a demonstration for that.
Thanks 👍 no cannot be used as step by step guide
This is a really awesome and in-depth video! My girlfriend travels to school in a minor city in the USA and she encounters standstill traffic every day so i wanted to create an off the grid route for her so she can avoid main routes into the city and this really helps! Although she lives 135km away from me and i tried to pull the map up and it only shows the map preview and says i can only view the map legend, do i have to be there to start the route at point A or how do you start the route?
I think you have to share the map with your girlfriend, I will have to do some checking on that...
@@dcpwebdesigners thanks! I’m going to do a little more digging into google maps, i honestly didn’t know it had this many features, also props to you for replying to people so fast and after 2 years uploading this, i read through a lot of comments, stay safe out there. ❤️
Would be awesome if you can give me a Google review to help my business 👍

@@dcpwebdesigners Left one just now, mate hope it helps :)
Awesome 👍
Great tutorial - thanks. Can you share a google map like this - and get other people to 'use' it (like in Strava) as guide? Like when you ask google to give you direction to reach a location - it tells you to 'turn right' etc. It keeps you on the chosen route.
Thanks, not sure will have to research and find out. I do know you can make a custom map and share but directions for driving I am not sure as this is normally point A to point B
Nice video.But how can you see how many Kilometres this route is?For instance,i want to draw my night-walking route and i want to see how many kilometres it is.Thank you!Also if you put one route from point A to point B,and then from the point B draw another route to point C,will it count it to the overall distance of kilometres or not?
This is what I want to know too
I don't think it counts the distance, I will need to test
I will have to test
Great vid, thanks, any ideas how to do an animated version, so the route moves along from A to B etc? 🙏🙏
Thanks 👍, not done animation before but I will give it a go when I get some free time 👍
@@dcpwebdesigners Look forward to seeing it ;o)
Can you then navigate a saved route with turn by turn directions? Or you just have to follow your location dot along the route?
No sorry
Well explaination, if you put how to save layers from gis tgen its complete package
Thanks 👍
hello id like to find one way streets only is there a way to do this.. also when i am done will google do the route i drew out for driving or will it still make its own route.
Not sure about one way routes only, the custom map cannot be used for driving
Great Video! can you put the link to that wallpaper your using?
Thanks 😊, try looking for image on unsplash.com , search keyword skyline
Hi there, this is very great and I have learn a lot in this video, just a quick question, after I have customs my driving routing, is there any way I can use this routing as navigation??
Thanks 👍 I don't think you can use this for turn by turn navigation at present
Would be awesome if you can give me a Google review 👍

How does ride-sharing apps like QuickRide render overlaying paths of driver and rider in a single map? Which APIs to be used for it? It also shows their location and then pickup location and then drop location and finally their end stop. It's a beautiful way of showing it. Please help!
Sorry not sure
Top video mate, Can you please tell me if I wanna share a route with other work colleagues do they need to have a Google account? And does the stops go in the set order please
Thanks
At the end of the tutorial I show you how to share the map. Yes the stops should go in order from start to finish 👍
@@dcpwebdesigners cheers mate
This is good... Thanks! However, I notice when I tried to this, and you seem this "problem" as well... The line has a Auto "snap to" that changes the route. If I am trying to build a detailed route with specific turns how do I turn off that "snap to" feature, or delete these superfluous turns that are auto inserted? Any Ideas?
You should be able to add new points to change direction
