Google Maps Made For Me!

I just had to quickly post about this. First, because I am just geeking out. Second, because I received a request for more tech posts this week. So here is one.

I am planning a trip to Gothenburg. It’s a quick holiday, and wanted to make sure I’ve got everything covered. So, I made a list: shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. Oh. And one museum. I’ve got all the bases covered- yeah? I had it on a Word document, with all the addresses and then thought, that doesn’t really help me- because I don’t know what is next to what!

So, I went on Google Maps, where you can create your own map if you have a Google account. I just plotted all the things I want to see on a map and saved it.

The next thing was, how to see it on my phone? Just download an app from the Play Store called “My Maps” (it’s a Google app, and free) and then log in- and your map appears! Just click on each red marker, and the details come up underneath the map.

Little things, eh? I am so happy- this is way easier than my Word document or carrying a map!
