The problem was that, once this map was created, the user had to use the official application My Maps to be able to open it and consult it. A tool with an experience not as improved and easy as Google Maps Something that made it more difficult consult these personalized maps, despite being able to share them with other people or always have them at hand thanks to the fact that they are kept synchronized with the user's own Google account. Until now, that Google has decided to improve this system.
In such a way, the user of Google Maps who has created his own map, no longer needs the application My Maps Simply access the Google Maps tool, display the menu and enter the section Your sites In this place, along with the downloaded maps, the user will also find the maps previously created in My Maps , without the need to transfer files or carry out configuration tasks.
