And I'll show you All I did was plan my trip. Use this network. So, you'll start by there Start with Google. Now, make sure that You've been connected to a Google plan Because that will help you organize The network you create or there's a link to Google My Maps. And what will you do? You will go to Google and use Google My Maps. Now, you'll want to make sure that you use Google My Maps It's not Google Maps.

You can see Some other face of my life has been placed here. And then, all you'll do is create a new face. Create a new face of life. So, it will make a network. And this is where we start. So, today I've made a reply. on the YouTube channel I'm going to ask. Where are you? or location What everyone wants to see In today's video. And then I thought you didn't, Ireland has won. So, in today's presentation We'll use Ireland as our location. Sorry for the people I want another location. We can only make one location. So, Ireland is here today. You too remember There are many different ways. to use this network. This is just the way I've been looking. use and To help a lot. So, I want you guys I'm looking for help. And to start this process, All that we will do That's the name of our network. So, you just need Register your name In the back of the net. And I will call this network The Commission 7 and 7 day Go on. And you can sign up Register and Your name. And usually I like organizing your network Day by day. So, I'll start with day one. And we will do it. A journey of travel - I'm going to Dublin. And if I want to sign up for another network, I'll go up on the left. And you will see Sign up for the network. I'll get that. I'll sign up for another network. I'll call it a network. 2 days And maybe we will A day trip Wicklow Mountains and Glendalough, where are you? And I will continue This happens every day. of your journey. So, as you can see, I've registered on the network and Sign up a few more times. So, now you can see We have 7 times Once. for every day of our journey. Now, remember that Google My Maps It's not a research material. And here's more than one raw material. to organize And the thoughts of your journey. You'll be sure to research elsewhere. But you can do a little here I'll show you. Now, I'll show you How to start more things Get on this network. Because in the end, there it is. That's what we're looking for, right? So, let's sign up for day 1. We'll register on day one. Here, on the left. And we have A trip to Dublin. So, let's find out Our first place. Let's go St. Stephen's is Let's go to St. Stephen's Green - I'm right here. And as you can see, They have a good plan. So, you don't have to know The location of everything. So, I'm going to St. Stephen's Green This is a good beach. I'm in Dublin. And boom! It'll take me there. And now, you can see There's a little white dot. appeared on the net. Now, you still have to This adds to your lives. So, what I'll do I'll put the name and this one. And I'll add it to my network. And now, I've made a little point on my network. But I don't like it. This is how it looks. So, I'll add A little bit to share. So, I'll start with With this key. and I'll click Edit. I'll start with Choose a name. And I will say The Green of St. Stephen And I will fight Start the walking tour Let me know. That's where I started. And I will use it. Then I will Hit this key. I can change The key plan. And for me, I like to organize. Your day The color. So, we'll start With white. I like white. So we'll hit white. Then I will beat This thing. I said More icons. And I can join in. This key. Where's the key? So, I will Bấm The key. I will. Bấm and - I'm not going to. And now, As you can see, If I get We have With the key. And here it is. First place Now, let's hit it One more key. So, let's hit it The key is Grafton. There it is. Where? It happened. Bump in Help me with Another point. I'm not sure. Key one. on Lock it up. I've been through it. The key and I'll open it. Key two. I will go with It's impressive And as you can see You walk. Get down here. Down there. I got it. Key 2 Mine. I did. I've got it. I've found some criteria I'd like to use to find out if this could happen in a day or so. I prefer to use a certain standard called the secret standard. To find out, you'll go down under the search table in front of you. And you'll hit something that looks like a standard. This standard helps you control between standards. And it will give you a clear plan of where you're going. I'm a strictly confidential man. I won my first standard in St. Stephen's Green Park. Then I'll take the second standard, the third standard, the third standard, the third standard and the second standard. I'll knock a couple of times. And you'll see now, the standard has been predicted to be 1.32 ways. It's time to go between those standards. Now, that's a clear plan. But this can help you decide if the standard will go too high or too low, And long will the standard go. So, Megan and I like to use this plan as a standard. If you want to standardize a little bit, You can find a standard control between standards. So you can control the standard change. And I'll show you how to do that. You can do that by taking control. You're going to press something like a key. When you turn on it, it will say sign up. You're going to hit something. And that will create a new class. So, I'll appear a new class. I'll call this class back... Directions to the walking tour. I'm going to go. Then I'll change this from driving to walking. By pressing this. Hit the man who walks. Then, I'll start pressing on the point. I'll hit the first point. Then, I'll press on the second point. And it will give me a point of walking. If I want to add another location, I'm going to hit Add Destination. Then, I'll press on the third point. I'll press on the third point. And now, you've got a point of change. I'm walking in the middle of all the places. It's very good. And I'll show you how to use this. on your phone or video. But this might be very helpful to you. I've added a few more points to the net. Like a restaurant and stuff. Let me show you something. I sometimes have questions. About how to know where to stay When you go to a new place. That's where I should find a hotel or a hotel. And I've used this technique To help me decide. I've found a few restaurants, Some places I'd like to go. And you can use this technique To help me decide where to stay. As you can see on my network, All the places I'm going to Like in the middle of a field. So, I'll try to find a location in that region based on what I want to see. And to do this, I'm going to go back to our base map And change the look again to that detailed map. So that way I can see things like hotels on it. And I'm going to zoom in And I'm going to see what kind of hotels I can find in this area. As you can see here, We have the Westbury Hotel. We have the College Green Hotel. Let's do that one. That one has a 4.5 star rating, Which is kind of nice. You can see the website is linked right there. So I can check it out. to see if it's in my price range or not. But if I decide to stay here, I'm going to add it to my map. I'm going to click the orange color Because that's what we decided for day one. I'm going to click on my bed icon. And boom, I found my accommodation. And so this can be a great way Help you dictate where you should stay in a new destination. Let's move on to day two. And what was so awesome We're creating layers for each day is that you can toggle layers on and off. So if I don't want to see the activities and events of the day, I can just turn it off. That way, it gets rid of all those map points. So that way, your map looks a lot simpler and much less overwhelming. Now for day two, We're going to do a day tour to the Wicklow Mountains and Glendalough, Which I would highly recommend, by the way. And we're going to do a tour from, Let's say, get your guide. This is actually a great tour. Meg and I did this ourselves. And we want to do this tour. So we're going to start by gathering some information. I added our starting points for our tour. But maybe you want to add the website for the Get Your Guide link. I just copied and pasted the Get Your Guide link into this map point, Which is really nice. when you're traveling around access to information super quickly and efficiently. So if at any point, I need access when the tour starts, when the tour ends, What do I need to bring, I just click on the link I've already embedded in my map, Which again is a really nice feature to have and to keep you organized. You can also add descriptions to your map point, And I use this feature a lot, Especially when I'm traveling. Maybe to a museum. Or maybe some kind of historical area Because sometimes I like to take notes of different facts and things Give me a little more appreciation of what I'm visiting. So for example, We're going to the Wicklow Mountains. I'm going to plug that in. The Wicklow Mountains. Create a map point. I'm going to edit it here. And I'm going to add Braveheart was filmed here. And that way when I visit that location, I now have a little perspective of potentially what I'm looking at and I can appreciate my travel a little more. Another feature that I really like to use is the ability to add a photo to a map point. Because oftentimes When I'm getting inspiration for travel, whether it's perusing Instagram or watching a vlog on YouTube, I'll see a specific photo. I want to recreate or get inspiration from when I'm traveling. So you can totally do that right here in Google My Maps. So say you want to visit the Cliffs of Moher, Which if you're going to Ireland, You can't miss the Cliffs of Moher. So I'm going to do the Cliffs of Moher. I'm going to add it to my map here. And then what you can do is you can actually add an image or photo. And the reason I like to do this is because then when I get to that spot or say we're at the Cliffs of Moher, I remember, hey, I wanted to get that photo Because it looked super, super cool and I was really inspired by it. So what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna browse my computer, Take a screenshot of the photo and I'm going to add it here. And now you can see I now have that photo inspiration for myself When I'm at that destination, Which is really cool. Because oftentimes when you're taking everything in, It can be easy to forget to take pictures. and stuff like that. So I use the ability to add photos to my map point as a great tool to make sure I'm capturing What I want to capture. Now, what really makes all this work worthwhile, creating a custom map, filling out all your points, deciding what activities and restaurants you want to go to, What really makes it all worth it is being able to use it while you travel. Now, unfortunately, The way you have to build these maps is through a desktop. There's no way to do it on your mobile device, Although you can view it on your mobile device And that's what I'm going to show you right now. Square one, You need to make sure that you have Google Maps downloaded on your phone. That's going to be really important. Number two, you have to make sure that you are logged in the same Google account that you are on your desktop Because that's how the map is going to be transferred to your phone. Once you open up your Google Maps app, you're going to click on the app and you're going down to Saved, which is at the bottom of your screen. Then there's going to be three options for you. at the very, very bottom that says Timeline, Following, or Maps and you're going to click on the Maps one And you should see all your maps already downloaded in this area and for myself, I'm going to go ahead and click on my Ireland 7-day trip and it's going to load my map. Once your map is loaded, You're already going to see all the points that you created on your desktop pop up on your map on your mobile device. So you can see your restaurants, those walking tour points that I put in, All in orange there. Then if you go to the bottom of your screen, You're going to see a View Map Legend. You can go ahead and click on that and that's going to show you your layers With your different days and everything you plan to do on those days, Which is really, really nice. The points on your map are entirely interactive as well so you can click on them, whether it's like this restaurant, like the Fire Steakhouse. You can click on it, You can get directions there. Maybe let's go look at that one. I added the photo for, so over by the Cliffs of Moher. I can click on my Cliffs of Moher point and you can see my photo of inspiration, The photo that I'm trying to recreate or just get inspired from. So what's awesome is even on the mobile device, Even though you can't create the maps on your mobile device, It's still super interactive and very, very helpful when you're traveling Because you all know there's nothing worse I like having to Google the directions than And what time is this restaurant open, What time does it close? All that information is right at your fingertips when you create a map like this. One last feature I don't want you to forget about is the fact that you can share your Google Maps with other Google accounts. This is really, really beneficial when you're traveling in a group Because you can share your My Map With a group of people and they can view it or edit it So that way everyone's on the same page when you're traveling And everyone has all the information you need. So whether you're traveling with some friends Or just some siblings. Or maybe your family, Sharing your Google Map is a great feature That allows everyone to be on the same page so no details are missed or no information is missed. I feel like I could go on and on Google My Maps is about And to be honest with you, I'm just scratching the surface here. And there's still so many features I didn't even explain that. or didn't even talk about. So maybe I'll make a part two If this video does well And you guys find this valuable. But for me, My Maps really helps me be present It allows me to focus What I'm trying to focus on rather than having my head down in my computer or my phone the whole time I'm traveling. I'm much more present All that research and work because was done ahead of time And it's lying in front of me in a digestible way. If you enjoyed this video, I would highly recommend I'm checking out the video I made. How to find cheap flights about using Google Flights. That again is a really powerful feature That Google offers and I would highly recommend Getting familiar with it Because it can save you. Hundreds on your flights.
