Make Your own MyMaps - Google Style DIY
Posted by Dave Kaufman under Blogs , Informational , Online Application , Software
Thinking of visiting all the baseball parks on the North East Coast? It’s a trip that many baseball fans would love to make. But where to start? Beginning today you can start at your friendly, neighborhood Google. Google, the current mapping king, is releasing an add-on to their popular maps tool, Google’s MyMaps.
I whipped up a driving trip you could make this summer from Chicago to Memphis to Stanton, MO to St. Louis. Check it out. If you want to see Elvis, Graceland, caves, Budweiser, the Gateway Arch and Busch Stadium it’s all planned and thanks to Google’s MyMaps feature ready for you now. It was easy to use and took about 15 minutes from start to finish to get it all working.
Techlife had previously mentioned how cool Flash Earth was, I would love to see Paul Neave tackle MyFlashEarth next. Can he do it?
List your Google MyMaps in the comments, here and we will see who has some cool ideas.

My favorite BBQ joints. This list is just getting started because I just started liking BBQ a month ago.

@Neal - That’s awesome!
I am surprised you “just started” to like BBQ. I love grilling. 10 years ago there were maybe 2 or 4 shelves of sauce, now there is almost a whole aisle. It is a booming market. I am looking forward to trying some of your places.

[...] Yesterday, Google added a feature called MyMaps to Google Maps, which lets you create your own markers and share your map with anyone. I created one with all of the locations of the Cape Cod Baseball League (just like the field locator on CodBall). The guys over at Techlife made a map with all of the professional ballparks. [...]

[...] Google Maps is a favorite around the Techlife offices. After our recent article on “Make Your own Google Maps” a long time friend and reader Cindy from Boston sent us the simple email outlining Google Maps directions from New York to London. We were a bit puzzled, until we followed her instructions. Here was the email tip we were sent: DO THIS: [...]

[...] A good friend of mine, Neal Campbell, producer of GeekBrief.TV recently asked me, “I know what you do, but what….do you do?” Most of you know me as Dave Kaufman, creator of Techlife. Let’s go behind the curtain in this multi-part column and I will give you a bit more about what I do. Today we cover design and branding. [...]

[...] Will you win your fantasy league if you use Google Docs? No. Will it help? Yes. During the course of working another added benefit was when I was out of town, I was able to access my spreadsheets with ease. Fantasy Football is constantly changing and becoming more and more competitive, more players, more time is spent working on your “lists”. Make it easier on yourself, give Google Docs a try. [...]
