Move the Map Marker on Google Maps: A Screenshot Tour

Using Google's My Maps feature, you can now move the marker exactly where you want people to visit. This is especially useful for me because whenever I check my address on the map, it's about 2 blocks away. Now, I can show people exactly where they need to go. :)

Google has announced this feature on the Google LatLong blog but didn't quite walk you through it. That's where I come in.

Here's how you do it:

First, plot the address on Google's My Maps feature and click on "Edit."

Now click on "Move marker":

Here, you can drag the marker:

Now you see the newly placed marker. Save this to My Maps:

Choose the Map you want to save it to. You may have to create a new map if you haven't done so already, but that's easy since it's in the drop-down box:

Finally, save your map and give it a nice little description:

Now you can link to the revised map and see your new marker placed where you want it.

Pretty cool.
