August 3, 2024What do you like/dislike about Google My Maps?
I would say I’m quite an avid user of google mymaps and i can definitely share some things I like and dislike. LIKE: icons you can choose the colour of - turning layers on/off - ease of organising (drag/drop) DISLIKE: the limited amount of layers (10 I think) - impossible to keep a map on your screen all the time (I would like to see a specific map when I’m on holiday for instance) - it would be nice to make navigation to/from points in mymaps easier. If you ever need user testing or anything I’d love to help out! All the best! More on reddit.com

November 23, 2022Google My Maps: Anyone using this for local SEO.
I agree that it helps. Do I have proof of this? Nope. I created a couple of custom maps for a client and they moved up about 2 spots in the snack pack. I can't say that is what did it because there were several other things being done at around the same time. Thing is though it's not going to hurt your listings by any means. It doesn't really take long to do so just like nearly ever other aspect of marketing (SEO) just give it a try and if it works for you then keep at it. More on reddit.com

r/JapanTravelTips on Reddit: Tips for Google My Maps or other alternatives?
August 3, 2024 -
I’m not sure if I’m just a major noob here. I’ve used Google My Maps to pinpoint and save all the places we wanna visit for our trip. However when I open it on my phone using the app (which is obviously how we will be using it during the trip), it’s so counter intuitive and hard to use?
It gives me my legend to see the entire list of saved places, but I can’t click anything on the list. What’s the point in that? It’s going to be so hard having to guess where a specific place is on my map of legend symbols, or having to remember a specific place’s name to manually search it - which totally defeats the purpose of the map in quickly finding and navigating things.
What do others use here? Or am I using Google My Maps wrong??

October 7, 2025 - Look at the toolbar under the search bar to add elements to your map. To see what each icon does, hover your mouse over the icon. The pin icon is one of the most important tools. In order from left to right, the icons are: undo, redo, move/grab, place a pin, draw a line, directions and measure · Once you know where you would like to place a pin, type the location into the search bar and press enter. My Maps will automatically take you to that location on the map:

February 16, 2025 -
Hi r/GoogleMyMaps , I'm an indie developer currently working on a service called Tasmap. It's somewhat of an alternative to Google My Maps, basically functioning as a Medium-style editor plus customizable maps. I'd like to know what aspects of the current Google My Maps you like or dislike? What features make it indispensable for you?
Any idea is welcome :)
