Visualize your data on a custom map using Google My MapsTutorial ContentsPrerequisites
Let's Get Started!
In this exercise, we’ll teach you how to import your data, customize the style of your map, and share your map. We’ll be using datasets courtesy of The MAPA Project and Shark Spotters, featuring the locations of Shark Spotters — trained observers watching the water for sharks — along the False Bay coastline in South Africa, as well as all reported white shark sightings between September 8, 2012, and February 22, 2013. Your finished map will look like the example above.
Import your data
Next, you’ll learn how to style the points on your map.
Style your mapCustomize the points on your map
Start by customizing the Sightings layer, changing the default blue pin to a shark fin icon.
Next, customize the points in the Shark Spotter Beaches data layer. Here you’ll bucket the points into two categories, Permanent Shark Spotter beaches and Temporary Shark Spotter Beaches — information that is already associated with each location in the CSV — and use two different map icons.
Tip: You can create and add your own icons to the map. Learn more in the Help Center.
Change the style of your base map
Edit your map data
You can easily make changes to your map data at any point in the map-making process. You may want to do this if you notice a typo or want to add extra information to your info windows. Below you’ll learn how to edit your map data.
You’ve noticed a typo in the Muizenberg data in the Shark Spotter Beaches layer. Shark Spotters is misspelled as “Shakspotters”.
To edit the data:
The table and infowindows for your map locations are synchronized, so any changes you make will be reflected in both places. You can also add rows to your table if you want to display additional information, or delete an existing row.
Tip: If you change the content within a location column, it will automatically attempt to correct the location according to your changes on the map.
Label your data
You can make labels or “titles” appear next to the features on your map using the Label feature. The label of your feature will be taken from a column in your data that you specify.
Share and embed your map
You have many options when you want to share your map with others. All maps are private by default — only you as the creator of the map can view or edit it. Below you’ll learn how to make the map public and embed it on your website, as well as how to collaborate on your map with colleagues.
To share a link to the map:
Collaborate with colleagues:
Tip: You can quickly add multiple collaborators to your map by sharing your map with a Google Group. Each member of group will have access to your map, and if you add new people to the group, they’ll have access too.
Embed your map:
Tip: You can set a default view for the map. This gives you extra control over what portion of the map will be on display when a viewer first visits your map. To set this feature, position the map in your browser. Then go to the map menu pulldown, indicated by three dots next to the Share button, and select Set default view.
Congratulations! You have learned how to import data, customize styles and share your map using Google My Maps.
More with Google My MapsSearch and filter your data
In the Sightings layer, go the layer menu pulldown, indicated by three dots, and select Open data table:
Use the search box to search and filter through this data:
Add points, lines, polygons and directions to your map
Hand-draw points, lines and polygons on your map with the drawing tools. Click the hand icon to stop drawing. You can also save driving, bicycling or walking directions to the map. Use the ruler icon to measure distances and areas.
Use My Maps on mobile
There are many ways you can access and edit My Maps on the go: view and edit maps in the My Maps app; view and edit maps on your mobile browser; or just view them in Google Maps for mobile.
