Creating the first map

To create a new map you need to select the "Map Tools" menu (right column), then "My Maps", and then click on the "New" button.

At this point you can fill out a form with map data.

Title

Status
You can assign two values: the option "Public" means that the map will be visible to all, with "Private" the map will only be visible to users chosen by the creator of the map (commercial version).

Personalised logo (commercial version)
It is possible to upload and select images in PNG or GIF format. The image will be visible in the top right corner of the map instead of the Map Maker Tool logo.

Map type

Initial view

Custom css styles

In this field you can enter the JavaScript code to detect the number of page views where the map is placed (eg. Google Analytics) (advanced users).

To make your changes permanent click on "Save and Close" or "Save" at the top of the page.
