There are Google Maps and then there are Google My Maps.
Whether you've created a basic map showing a single location, or a personalized map customized the way you want, the Google Maps content type in your Springboard lets you display it on your website.
Google My Maps is included with a Google Account, just like Sheets, Docs, Sites, etc. and gives you lots of customization options: Import locations from spreadsheets, choose from a variety of styles for location markers, upload custom icons, color code areas, to name just a few.
Ideas:
- Plot multiple locations on one map, add custom icons for the markers. Add an image or video for each location.
- Show an event route (a mini-marathon, fun run, parade). Add markers for landmarks or stops and show distances between certain points.
Just create your map, copy the embed code and paste it into your Springboard using the Google Maps content type. Learn more.
