NEW YORK: Google recent method involves using a separate app named My Maps, of course to both create and manage these maps. However, Google is rolling out a small update to the core app that allows you to access custom maps again. Here’s where to find them:
Step 1: Slide-out the left-hand menu, and then choose Your Places.
Step 2: Scroll down past your Saved places (those you have starred but not added to a map) and you will see the names of your custom maps.
Step 3: Choose the map you want to work with and then it will load on the main view.
You can tap the individual points to view information on each point, like the business name. The map will continue displaying until you switch it off (toggle at the bottom of the screen).
It’s nice to have this feature back in the main app where it belongs. What do you use custom maps for?
