Hi everyone! Thank you so much for watching this video. 😃It's been a pleasure answering your questions and receiving your compliments. See below for frequently asked questions. ✨F A Q ✨ Q1. Can you use the maps offline? A1. You can download a map of the city/country you are visiting and view/get directions offline. Step 1 - Search for the city or country. Step 2 - Look at the buttons at the top and tap on "Download". Step 3 - Zoom in/out to choose the area of the map you want to download. Step 4 - Tap on "Download". Step 5 - Once you get to your destination, use Google Maps normally. (Only driving directions will be shown. Transit and walking directions will not be shown.) However if you want to specifically see the "Google My Map" you created when you are on airplane mode/offline, right now Google tells us "Couldn't open your list of maps." Q2: How do you get step by step directions on iPhone Google Maps? A2: When viewing the map you created on Google My Maps, it is like an itinerary. There isn't a feature in the "Google My Maps" function to allow for directions on mobile. It is something you would need to search for on the regular Google Maps search function. Q3: I cant seem to find the app of my google maps. Did they stop the app? I found it only as a website. A3: Google My Maps does not have a separate app from Google Maps, it is an embedded feature. Please see 12:37 to 13:15 to learn how to access it. Q4: How do you create a Google My Maps on your iPhone and not only on desktop? A4: Right now it doesn’t look like Google lets us create a “Google My Maps” on our phone. We are just able to view the map we created on desktop, on our phone. Q5: Can you set departure times? A5: I tested it out on the computer and yeah, I'm also not seeing departure times. But if you go to the Google Maps app, tap on "Saved" button, then tap on "Maps", tap the custom map you created, tap on the pin you want to go to, tap "Directions", and you will be able to put in departure times. Q6: Is there a way to re-sort the layers? A6: If you mean by "re-sort", you are referring to moving the order of the categories to move "Hotel" below "Restaurants" (for example), hover your mouse over the name of the category. Your cursor should turn into a hand. Then click (the cursor should turn into 4 arrows), and drag up or down. Q7: I can't seem to add the same location more times in the same layer. Do you know how? In my itinerary we need to visit the same place more than once during the day and I use the layer as a program. A7: If you go to the little buttons underneath the search bar - hover over the little pin 📌 icon and it says "Add marker" and then click on the same spot you are going to be visiting. Q8: Is it possible to add new places/pins to layers on a mobile phone when already traveling and on the go? A8: At this time it doesn’t appear so, I wish we could! However, the alternative would be to click on the location and then click on “Save” and choose a list. There’s existing lists like “Favorite” but you can create a new one. This list won’t merge with the Google My Maps you created and doesn’t allow you to write comments or any extra things, just allows you to save.

@BlondeInTheAir

Hi PennySue, The Day 1, Day 2 lists are layers that were renamed to be "Day 1". If you click on that layer, you can choose which pin you want to add to that layer. You'll see a button that says "+ Add to the map". Check out 02:56 😊 If you put a pin in the wrong layer, you can click and drag it to the correct layer. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

This was helpful and I learned about some new tools. Several years ago I spent hours creating a custom map for a trip with all the places we wanted to go but I keep having to toggle back and forth to the "live" Google Map and then back again to my custom "Google My Maps" to see where we had to go. My custom map just wouldn't show our live location (the all-important blue dot) This was confusing and ate time. What was I doing wrong? I did just change the setting in Google Maps to "Location > Always" on my iPhone. I just want this map to work better than my last one! Thanks for any tips you can provide.

I tried to plan something with this app and it just doesn't work. You cannot hide any of the layers in the app itself. You can only do it on your desktop. So If I tried to plany 10 days trip, with directions to multiple locations it would just all look terrible on the map, unusable. Furthermore it doesn't seem to be showing you the actual directions as a live map. It looks like it was abbandoned by google devs and just left as is.

Im SO CONFUSED: I'm been trying for HOURS to do what I would think should be a simple task. CREATE A ROAD TRIP FOR GOOGLE MAPS WITH CUSTOM DIRECTIONS. This google maps either CHANGES the directions to the QUICKEST route, or the actual CHANGES (me dragging the route MY WAY and not what google wants) does NOT save in the imported URL. I then discovered GOOGLE MY MAPS so I created a custom SPECIFIC directions but now I can't figure out how to create a link so when someone clicks it, it loads THAT SPECIFIC ROAD MAP to their google maps app. Basically I am in charge of creating a custom car cruise map of travelling through out a city. I want to be able to send everyone who will be driving a link so when they click it, it loads my SPECIFIC directions so google map will AUDIO direct everyone if they were to get stuck as a light, or lost... But why is this such a hard thing to do??????

Very, very basic things (like creating a map from saved places) are still simply impossible in Google Maps. Maybe that's why people created software like "Mappler"... there ARE workarounds (like exporting your places via Google Takeout FIRST and then RE-IMPORTING them after converting them (???) through an external website ... yes, seriously, Google maps can't even import its own files!). *My guess is that these inexplicable shortcomings are by design as they are a known problem for almost a decade now...*

Hello! Your video is amazing. This is exactly what I needed for my travels. I usually create a very detailed Excel Spreadsheet. I have one question... if I want to island hop in Greece; can I use this Google My Map to have it show me easiest ways to hop from island to the next? Thank you

Hi TracyAnne! This is great to hear, thank you so much for letting me know that my video has helped you! 😊 & To answer your question, I wish Google My Maps can do that. The only directions feature shows driving routes - not even walking routes. Island hopping would mean boat or plane routes, which Google My Maps doesn't show. If you Google "Greek island hopping blog posts" or search up "island hopping in Greece" on KZitem, you will see advice from travel bloggers/KZitemrs. I wish I made a video to point you to, but I haven't personally done this yet.

@@BlondeInTheAir Unfortunately, as the programme originated your side of the pond where public transport is virtually non-existent, the programmers seem to have decided that EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE does trips by car. As a septuagenarian planning an interrail trip in Europe, you can image my frustration at only being able to map one rail trip at a time and only in Google maps directions (even then it did not give me the most economic routes or opportunity to show ferries)!

Thank you. I can't seem to add the same location more times in the same layer. Do you know how? In my itinerary we need to visit the same place more than once during the day and I use the layer as a programme.

I'm happy you asked - that is a great scenario to explore. 😊 If you go to the little buttons underneath the search bar - hover over the little pin 📌 icon and it says "Add marker" and then click on the same spot you are going to be visiting.

Thanks. Why does it say that people are viewing my map? I don't want people to see my travel plans. I changed the setting, but it's still being viewed.

Hi Elliot, not sure. It’s possibly counting the times you’re viewing your map? You can ask friends or family to see if they can access the link from their computer to verify if the map is private or not.

Thanks for the tips and advice, can you use the maps offline?
@BlondeInTheAir
2 жыл бұрын
Hi Nigel! You're welcome 😊 You can download a map of the city/country you are visiting and view/get directions offline. Step 1 - Search for the city or country. Step 2 - Look at the buttons at the top and tap on "Download". Step 3 - Zoom in/out to choose the area of the map you want to download. Step 4 - Tap on "Download". Step 5 - Once you get to your destination, use Google Maps normally. (Only driving directions will be shown. Transit and walking directions will not be shown.) However if you want to specifically see the "Google My Map" you created when you are on airplane mode/offline, right now Google tells us "Couldn't open your list of maps."

Hi, after doing all that stuff, how can i navigate the map done on my maps on google maps on smartphone?
@BlondeInTheAir
3 жыл бұрын
When you say "navigate", are you referring to getting directions? On the Google Maps app, tap on "Saved" button, then tap on "Maps", tap the map you want, tap on the pin you want to go to, and tap "Directions". Please let me know if this answers your question! 😊 the end of my video I have a little tutorial of how it looks on mobile, not sure if you saw it or not. If not, deff check it out!

Why just use Google travel > Trip? More easy and nice
@BlondeInTheAir
Жыл бұрын
Hope the below helps - Google Travel is used to find flights, hotels, etc. It’s a search engine. Google My Maps is a customizable map where you pin the things you want to do on your trip and other important information so you can make the best decision in planning for your trip (restaurants, museums, parks, hotels you want to stay at, airport, etc.) From doing this, you may realize there are some things that are too far away and not feasible to get to. Or you may realize a lot of things are in one area so you can just walk or Uber instead of renting a car.

I once was traveling on a airplane and the guy next to me was looking at his phone with a google map open and he could see exactly where we were in relation to the ground. I hope I am stating this right. My problem is I didn't get a chance to ask him how he did it. I know he wasn't using any Wi-Fi. I would love to be able follow the airplane's path using this method. Do you know how I could do this? Thank you. Love your videos.

Hi Richard! This is an interesting feature I haven't heard of before. I did a little Googling. I don't know if this is what you saw the guy on the plane do but you can see for yourself: www.technipages.com/google-maps-check-elevation The app I use to track flight paths is "Flight Radar". Not sure if it works offline. Here are some other flight tracking apps: www.lifesavvy.com/9366/5-awesome-airline-tracking-apps/
