Customizing Google Maps

View Oregon Tour in a larger map

Google Maps allows you to add photos and custom icons for your travel map. You can create customized maps from My Maps section. Also, You can customize the location photographs to display your pictures.

The icons in the map can also be changed according to your taste. I have added the following icons

Lighthouse
Caves
POI

You can add a route with several location pointers. I have also added a custom polygon overlay to indicate special point of interest.

I have embedded pictures of my visit in the icons. Instead of the public picture from google maps, your picture will be loaded. You can check this by clicking on the icons.

The google-icons can be found here
