Are you a travel planner type like me? If yes, you’ll love travel itinerary planning with Google My Maps, which is a free easy-to-use site. In this Google My Maps tutorial, I’ll show you how to add your must-visit places to the map, personalize them, create road trips, walking routes and plan your itinerary. • COVID-19 cancelled our 2020 trip to Peru. So now, I’ll walk you through how I plan our future 3-week Peru trip. Hopefully, it can become a reality one day ;) • In my blog post, you'll find the Peru itinerary and maps, what I’m creating in the video. • https://alizswonderland.com/how-to-pl... • Here’s your complete guide to travel itinerary planning with Google My Maps: • STEP 1 • CREATE YOUR 1ST GOOGLE MY MAPS USING YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT • 0:46 Just visit the site of Google My Maps and sign in with your Google username. https://www.google.com/intl/en/maps/a... • 1:30 Name your map and set the base map. • STEP 2 • ADD YOUR MUST-VISIT LOCATIONS TO MY MAP • 02:10 Search and “+ Add to map” your must-see places. • 02:43 Add a description. • 02:48 It’s also possible to include a photo. • STEP 3 • PREPARE YOUR LAYERS TO SEPARATE TOPICS OR REGIONS • 03:31 Tips and tricks to separate your layers if planning to visit a city or a whole country. • 04:05 Research the city and country and add your selected places to your map. • 04:44 Add new layers. • 05:52 Keep in mind that you can't create more than 10 layers. • STEP 4 • PERSONALIZE YOUR PLACES WITH ICONS AND COLOURS • 05:58 Differentiate your places with symbols and colours. • 06:08 Include accommodation, restaurant, general transportation... • 06:45 Play with the colours and signs and see which individual style works for you. • 08:47 Add points manually by “Add marker” pin icon • STEP 5 • CREATE WALKING, CYCLING ROUTES AND ROADMAPS IN GOOGLE MY MAPS • 09:26 Plan your self-guided walking tour - “Add walking route”. • 10:43 All of these routes can have max 10 stops/elements. The stops can be rearranged and changed later, the route line can be also altered by dragging the line. • 11:55 Choose “Step-by-step directions” to find out how much time will be needed for the planned road trip/walking tour. Google My Maps will tell you the distances and the calculated time between your stops. • 12:20 Plan your road map - “Add driving route”. • STEP 6 • TRAVEL ITINERARY PLANNING WITH GOOGLE MY MAPS • 14:50 Think about the most important things before planning your itinerary: • How will you get there? • How much time do you have? • How will you get around? • What are your favourite activities? • What’s your budget? • 15:51 Plan your approximate travel itinerary. After seeing the distances between your pins, calculate which can be reached on foot or by public transport. • 18:37 A big disadvantage is that you can’t create more than 10 layers, so if you’re planning a longer trip in a country, better to arrange your places by regions and days as I did at this 3-week Peru itinerary planning. You can just list the places in the order you might visit them. • 18:41 Create a copy from your map • 19:08 Depending on visiting a city or a country, rearrange and rename your places and layers • 21:10 - Continue your research about flights and tickets • 21:27 Find the perfect place for your accommodation. • 21:48 “Draw line”. • STEP 7 • SHARE YOUR MAP WITH YOUR TRAVELLER BUDDIES • 22:50 “Enable link sharing” to send it to your travel partners. • 23:07 If you want to plan the itinerary together, give editing access. • STEP 8 • ACCESS MY MAP ON YOUR PHONE VIA GOOGLE MAPS • 23:31 Access your created and shared maps on IOS and Android devices via Google Maps app by checking your “Saved” places and clicking on “Maps”. • • Want to learn more about how to plan your dream trip using Google My Maps?
