Did you know that you can now create your own maps with the Google Maps?  Pete Cashmore reported it at the Mashable:

A launch from Google that’s sure to go down well: MyMaps, rolled out in the last few hours, lets you create your own personalized maps within Google Maps.

With this service, you can:

• Mark your favorite places on your map.
• Draw lines and shapes to highlight paths and areas.
• Add your own text, photos, and videos.
• Publish your map to the web.
• Share your map with friends and family.

And to test how it works, I created a personal map on my daily route which can be viewed here.

So, what the advantage of it?

Okay, as of now you can use it whenever you want to let your friends and blog’s visitors know your scheduled trip by creating the continuous line and marks of the places that you’ll be passing. Anyway, you can try it, test it and as you do it, you’ll know how useful is it in your blogging career.
