After its Search Engine, Maps has been the most useful feature offered by Google to the world for the last decade.
Get lost? just open Maps on your phone to locate yourself and find the fastest way to get where you want... Every website uses it to pinpoint their offices or shop locations etc..

 But so far, Google Maps was only accessible on the "public web" or through complex API programming if you wanted to customize your maps.

Store and Customize your own Maps in Drive !

Today, Google launched the integration of Google Maps into Google Drive, that will allow you to :

  • Store Map into your Google Drive folder and share it with your coworkers as you do for any document.
  • Customize your maps by saving itineraries, adding pinpoint with you own details and pictures or 
  • Tracing areas and overlap layers of your own information on the same map
  • Tracing your own routes 

Useful for all types of businesses

This feature can be very useful to : 
  • Maintain your location maps without any help of your webmaster
  • Create delivery plan for your drivers
  • Organize territories for your sales teams
  • Save access plans for your offices that you can easily send to your customers
  • and much, much more.
