Google Maps can help your business generate detailed customized maps for free right from your browser. You can create online maps and share links to them with others on the Web. This is helpful when you need to show customers or clients directions to your business. Using a simple utility that comes with Windows, you can capture any Google map you see and make it yours by inserting it into a Word document.
Create Map
- Visit maps.google.com and type a location in the search box at the top of the page. As you type, a drop-down menu offers suggestions that match the location you're seeking.
- Click the desired location from the list to view the map. Click the "+" and "-" buttons on the map's vertical slider to zoom and unzoom the map if needed.
- Click the map and drag it to display different locations on it. Move to the panel on the page's left side that displays information about your location. Find the small arrow in the panel's upper right corner and click that arrow to collapse the panel. This gives you a larger map view.
