Google My Maps

Google My Maps is a tool which enables you to create custom maps highlighting locations on a Google map. You can add markers, draw shapes, add text notes, add photos, group items, and lots more.
The great thing is that you can even collaborate with other people so you could create and edit a map with others. You could use My Maps to mark and share information about the locations in a book. Or you could use it to record the locations and information about people in your reading group.
