Q&A for How to Make a Personalized Google Map

Go to your map and select a place. Click on the picture of a camera. Then, drag (or select) the image in the "Upload" category.

When you preview it, or if someone else sees it/clicks on the link, below the overall description there will be a "Share" button. Click on that, and a menu will pop up. One of the choices is "Embed on my site."

You can not directly add audio to a map. You can, however, embed a map on your website (see above), and alongside it include a standard HTML5 audio tag which can then play any audio you would like.

Yes. Click on the object you want to delete on the map and then click the trash icon.

For your fundraising walk, use signs or posters at predetermined stopping points to share information about MS. Design each sign with clear text about MS facts, statistics, or inspiring stories. For an interactive element, use QR codes on the signs that participants can scan to read more, watch videos, or donate directly. Make sure the signs are weatherproof and placed safely.

No, not everyone can add locations to a published Google Map unless you explicitly allow it. By default, only the owner and collaborators with editing permissions can make changes. If you want others to add locations, you need to adjust the map's sharing settings and give editing access to specific users or enable collaboration with a public link. Be cautious, as allowing public edits may lead to unwanted changes.

To change the name of your map in Google Maps, open the map you created in Google My Maps. Click on the map’s title at the top-left corner, edit the name directly in the title field, and then save your changes.
