Today, Google unleashed a new, overhauled version of its well-loved (and little known) custom maps tool, called My Maps. It's pretty powerful and cool.
With it, you can create a trip itinerary, note hotspots in any location, and otherwise personalize Google Maps.
The updated My Maps lets you customize the map to a great extent—choose different colors for the markers, create layers to organize places, add labels on the map, and import locations from a spreadsheet.
There's also an Android app now so you can change your maps on the go and also view them (something the old version didn't allow).
And you can share your personal maps too so others can benefit from your plans, as well as check out some interesting custom maps in the Google Maps Gallery (crime rates by county, Sherlock Holmes' famous sites, and Lewis and Clark maps).
Head to the link below to try it out.
