Working with Google My Maps

View Cornell Planning Students' Cayuga Heights Map in a larger map


This is a map I have been working on for a planning project in Cayuga Heights, NY. The concept is that community members will be able to easily add information about how they experience their neighborhood and that information can be shared with the people planning the future of the village.

The tools are incredibly simple but also very limited. It currently requires a Google ID to be one of the editors, and it can't be embedded in a page in an editable format. You are welcome to click on the map above, which will take you to the Google My Maps page, once you log in to Google you can edit the map adding points, lines and shapes. Once a feature is added, you can place pictures, video and text into the pop up comments box via HTML. Feel free to give it a try, but please don't delete anything someone else added, once it's gone it's gone!
