Yep. It isn't hard once you know how. To put the maps together it is just a lot of copying and pasting in Notepad. The limitations are that you can only have a certain amount of layers in a map and each layer can only have so much data.You did this?! Neat!
I wish I could open the link to have a look. Using my iPhone I get the message that it won’t open.I've been playing around with Google My Maps, ever since I was introduced to the rudiments of kml file editing on another thread.
Previously, I posted a link to another map made with the GPS tracks collected by the good in the Nederlands Genootschap van Sint Jacob. I added to it the albergues, restaurants and bars recommended in various resources and threaads here.
In search of something a little more "authoritative" in GPS tracks, I found the kml files shared by the Centro Nacional de Información Geográfica (CNIG) in Spain. These are the people that produce that lovely map that Ivar sells. I've put those maps on a Google Map (which then looked much like the nice paper map I have except that you can zoom right in) and ported over the recommended establishments.

I set it to "Public: everyone on the internet can find and access", so it should be available to folks in Australia. I surely wouldn't want to exclude such fine people!I wish I could open the link to have a look. Using my iPhone I get the message that it won’t open.
Later today , I’ll check with my pc. Maybe it will be possible there. Or would it be because I’m in Australia?
Thanks for pointing this out. I have the file, just seem to have forgotten to aggregate it with another as I was reducing the layers to fit within the Google limits. I'll take care of that now.David, do you have/need the Camino Ingles .kml file?
At the bottom of the key on the left hand side there is the option to switch view to Satellite. On Android phone you may need to open the key by clicking on the map name (below the map itself). Not sure about IOS.Very useful to those of us who have no idea what a kml file is, David. Thanks for this. A question,: is it possible to access the satellite map while viewing this?

As in many other things NZ/Aotearoa seems to be blessed at present!I had no problems with an Android phone in NZ

This is a great tool and can't wait to use it on 'the way', possibly 2022 but still a long shot.I've been playing around with Google My Maps, ever since I was introduced to the rudiments of kml file editing on another thread.

Thanks miguel. It must have seemed a really dumb question. (I had the opening sidebar covered by a subsequent one displaying albergue info!)At the bottom of the key on the left hand side there is the option to switch view to Satellite.
I'm in Oz. It opened on my tablet. Haven't tried on my phone.I wish I could open the link to have a look. Using my iPhone I get the message that it won’t open.

Opens fine on Android and PC through google. Link goes through google maps. Only hope we get to make the most of it.I'm in Oz. It opened on my tablet. Haven't tried on my phone.

DavidHi David
I've had a look at this on my pc... very impressed!
Note: There must be something one has to do to the settings on the iphone though.. On 'my' iphone the link (for me) opens up in google maps but where I live.. I've had this happen before.. Not a big deal thou
Brilliant, David ... congratulationsI've been playing around with Google My Maps, ever since I was introduced to the rudiments of kml file editing on another thread.
