Want to create your own map and bring it to life?
In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to create a custom Google Map animation. First, I’ll add markers and a route to a map inside of Google My Maps. I’ll export my map as a KMZ file, and then bring it over to Google Earth Studio where I’ll animate the markers and route.
Here’s what I’ll be using in this tutorial—
- Google My Maps
- Google Earth Studio
- Adobe Premiere Pro (optional)
What you’ll need
- A Google account
- Google Chrome
- Video editing software that can import image sequences
Step 1 – Create a Custom Map
For the first step, I’ll go to Google My Maps. This page lets me create and customize my own Google Map. For the first step, I’ll add markers. I’ll put each marker on a separate layer, which will give me more versatility when I go to animate the map inside of Google Earth Studio. Next, I’ll customize the color and icon style of each marker, and then add a walking route traveling between the four marker points.
