Using Google My Maps is one of the quickest and easiest ways we know to create a dataset of locations, whether in Ottawa or anywhere around the world. Using the Google My Maps search engine, you can find, save, create, annotate, and export collections of locations. You can also use Google My Maps to collaborate with colleagues to create datasets or sharable interactive online maps.

Pre-requisite: a Google (Gmail, Google Drive, etc.) account

Learning outcomes: Create a Google My Map; customize symbology; add text or multimedia; share a Google My Map; export data from a Google My Map
