How to Create a Multiple Locations Map on Google — Easy Way

today I'm going to show you how to create a custom map with multiple locations to do this we're going to use a tool called Atlas I actually co-created Atlas alongside my friend Carl and you can find a link to Atlas in the video description for our tutorial we're going to create this map a map of all my favorite impact Kitchen locations in Toronto impact kitchen is just a restaurant I like but you can make a map of anything so here we go let's get started here we are in at list let's add our first marker by searching for an address and there we go there's our marker if we click the marker we can edit the name we can add tags notes and we can even add some photos nice now we could keep adding markers one by one by searching with this box or we could import a CSV spreadsheet to add many markers at once let's do that let's upload our CSV and there we go we have more markers now if we want to we could put our markers into groups and we could give these groups custom Styles but we only have five markers so I don't think we really need groups here now that we've added our markers I think it's time to customize this map a bit so let's go to customize and and let's start with the map the first thing I like to do is to pull down the map labels we cleans up the map a bit next let's change the theme there are a bunch we can choose from okay nice I kind of like this one okay let's head back and now let's customize the markers we can change all kinds of things the size the border the color what I actually want to do is upload a custom marker image that has the impact kitchen logo on it nice but let's bump up the size perfect let's head back again so when visitors click a marker on the map it opens a modal and I want to add a button to the modals so let's go to modals and turn on the button nice now let's click options and we can see we have two options for buttons directions just links the button to directions in Google Maps link lets you set a custom link for each marker that's what we're going to use in this case I want the button to link to this restaurant's Uber Eats page so let's go back to the marker and edit the button to be a link to Uber Eats we'll click the button and boom there we go awesome I think we're ready to talk about overlays overlays are additional features you can add to your map like search more tags or a title or a list let's stick with these you can interact with overlays here so we can filter by tag or search to find the nearest location to an address now these overlays can always be customized so for example if you're a Canadian like me and you don't use miles you can go to options and set the unit to kilometers perfect okay I think we're good whenever you're ready you can go to publish and you can share your map in two ways you can use this embed code to embed your map on a website or you can use this URL to share your map awesome okay there we go that's how to create a custom map with multiple locations once again you can find a link to Atlas in the video description thanks for watching
