Check out the new Custom Maps on Google Maps tool

June 13, 2023 by Randy Majors

The new Custom Maps on Google Maps makes it easy to create your own custom Google Map using any combination of ZIP Codes, counties, cities and more! You can use this tool to quickly create: sales territory maps delivery area maps service area maps …all on Google Maps! If your territory is composed of dozens of ZIP Codes, you can choose to ‘merge’ them to show an overall territory boundary. Then, add your own title to the map, and even choose colors. An example link you create looks like this: https://www.randymajors.org/customgmap?mapbuilder=true&zips=10023,10024,10025,10026&zipboundary=show&title=My+Service+Territory The resulting map would look something like this: Be … Read more

January 28, 2021 by Randy Majors

“What county am I in?” That’s one of the most common Google search terms that people use where randymajors.org appears in Google’s search results page.

Now feel free to add City Limits to your County Maps — and actually see what’s going on!

January 28, 2021 by Randy Majors

This enhancement pertains to the County Lines on Google Maps and Elevation on Google Maps tools. As you may already know, you can choose to show US City Limits on your county lines map by checking the “Also show US city limits” checkbox in the lower left corner of the map. If you’ve done that before, and happened to be looking in a busy metro area, you get a somewhat jumbled mess of red lines, making it hard to distinguish counties and cities. Here’s what it used to look like: Now, when you check the “Also show US city limits” checkbox, … Read more

With the new Elevation on Google Maps tool, you can find the elevation of any place worldwide. Use the “Search places” box to type an address, city or other place, and see it’s approximate elevation, or just explore by clicking around the map. In addition to elevation, the tool will also display other information about your chosen location, such as city, county, state, country and latitude/longitude.

There are a couple of enhancements related to Latitude/Longitude or GPS coordinates.

First County Lines, now ZIP Code boundaries on Google Maps!

January 28, 2021 by Randy Majors

QUICK LINK TO ZIP CODES: ZIP Codes on Google Maps QUICK LINK TO COUNTY LINES: County Lines on Google Maps After the great response to my County Lines on Google Maps tool, I’ve heard a number of suggestions for other types of boundaries that Google Maps doesn’t show. One that has come up a number of times is for ZIP Codes. Yes, you can see one ZIP Code boundary at a time on Google Maps desktop version, but that’s of limited use if you’re trying to see all of the ZIP Codes in an area and don’t know what they are … Read more

County Lines on Google Maps adds coverage for Australia

January 28, 2021 by Randy Majors

If you’re Australian or familiar with Australian government hierarchy (which I wasn’t!), the first thing you may ask is what is a “county” in Australia, as it evidently doesn’t exist. According to Wikipedia, “Unlike Canada or the United States, there is only one level of government in each state, with no distinction such as cities and counties.” Instead, Australia uses Local Government Areas (LGAs). So now the County Lines on Google Maps tool includes all of the Australian LGA boundaries! Here’s a snapshot from the southeastern part of Australia, with the city and state name for the red marker displayed at … Read more
