Thank you for taking the time to help the RVers out there. 🇺🇸🇯🇵

I always appreciate you sharing your travel knowledge, and it is an extra bonus to be able to see exactly which icon to click on, etc. to complete a travel route. Thanks.

This is brilliant. I didn’t know Google Maps would do any of this. Thanks so much!

Thanks for doing this, very timely for my next week RV Van Pickup and practice run on the way home. I love your videos

Oh my goodness this was so informative, I’m going to have to watch it over and over again with Google Maps opened up on my desktop. This is a route that we will travel so I’m looking forward to mapping it out! Thanks so much for helping out this newbie.

This is one I will have to watch a few times! I am map obsessed. I turned into my mother... and great tip on Gas a Buddy - I always search by map - so helpful!

Excellent! Was not using google maps to its fullest potential. Thanks so much for sharing. And State Lines...didn't even know it existed.

I had no idea!!! I watch your channel because I’m a planner, so this is perfect for me!!! Thank you from Costa Mesa!!!

Thanks for sharing Debbie. Looking for your next adventure. Stay Safe.

Like many of the others...did not know that google maps had this extra functionality. Good job on teaching us. Have a great time on your upcoming travels.

This is EXCELLENT! We just got our 1st RV, a Coachmen Beyond 22' Class B and need to plan a summer trip. Your tips will sure come in handy. Thanks for putting in the effort to make this video!

Wow! I learned a lot! I’ll watch it again (and probably again!) as I try these steps 😊 Thank you!!!

Thanks for sharing and going into so much detail. I have to be honest I just plan A to Z and stop where ever looks nice. But what I have found when I get back people say we did this trip and their A to Z was exactly the same as mine but had so many great place I didn’t even know existed. So this August when I do the NC500 (Scotland’s version of Rout 66) I will look at all the stop others have made and put them as you did here along my Rout. Thanks again Ray K UK YNWA.

Wow!, what a perfect timing video. Now that things have calmed down a bit, we are hoping to start doing days trip. Such informative video. Definitely going to use your tips. Always learning from you. Thank you. Travel safe.

Nice job, thank you! Here's a tip for My Maps. Sometimes the Google map looks a bit cluttered with all the businesses showing, especially in a downtown area. If you want to clear the map of all the places pinned to the base map go to "Base map" at the bottom of the listing box on the left hand side. You'll get a choice of nine map styles - pick Simple Atlas (third column, middle row) and your map will be cleared of all but the points YOU have put down. Don't worry, you can always go back to "Base map" and choose "Map" to bring them all back again. Hope this is of interest.

I will start using Google maps more often. Heading to the PW Big Timber meet up via Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming then Montana. Will be at a Winery in E. Wa. June 6th.

SOOO helpful! Thank you!!! (I'll need to re-watch this video about 10 times to cement it in my head.)

This is the best explanation I have ever heard! Thank you so much. Love your videos.

Always great sharing, but this time you get an A+. Thank you.

Google has been my best friend for years, but had no idea about these layers! Thank you!

Really great video. I love the Pro-Tips from those that have figured out the best way to do things. Thank you.

Thanks for the great information. Blessings

What a great, informative video. Thanks Debbie!

Wow! So much great info! We're going to have to watch this again slowly and take notes.

This was JUST WHAT I NEEDED! Thank you! Very valuable stuff!

You are so good at explaining everything- thanks very much 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you for sharing!! I use google maps all the time but had no idea of all these options 😊 now I can better plan my road trips !

Thanks, Debbie! Had no idea Google maps had those features. I only use it on my cell phone. I will now use to plan my next road trip🙏🏽😊

Excellent video. Learned a lot about mapping our route. Thank you.

Thanks for the Gas Buddy tip I’m of our age and did not know how to correctly use the map icon. I’m trying to get away from our paper maps and use google ......great job explaining. Always love your videos.

Great lesson, thank you so much. I learned a lot here today.

Hi Debbie, thank you for another great tip. I can’t help but to say thank you! I am a software engineer and I learned a few tips from you today. You inspire me to live an enriched life. Thank you for sharing! NJ

You made a perfect video for me to save and refer to later. Thank you!

Thank you, I learned something new about google maps that I had no idea I could utilize. Thank you for all your tips and suggestions.

This has been incredibly helpful. Thank you.

I had no idea! Thanks so much Debbie.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help those of us who are technologically challenged. Much gratitude.

I use Google maps for my trip planning but you taught me some new things! Thanks!

Thanks a lot for showing another sensible way of planning one's routes and stops ... .

Another great video thank you! Never knew I could create a map like that for our travels! :o)

I had no idea all of this was available in Google Maps! Thank you for sharing!

Great app and video of how to plan routes, campgrounds, and tourist attractions. Thank you so much.

I always click on the "map" view in Gas Buddy, makes more sense to me because I'm scouting ahead of our route to find the best prices. Thanks for the info, love your videos.

Thank you! Very clear, concise and finally I understand how to preplan our trips with Google Maps.

After I don't know how may years... you just made Google Maps worth my while! I've kept many a map on my places, but didn't realize there was a "more" button and all the added benefits of doing everything before yo actually go into your account. Wonderful! Amazing tips... Be Seeing You!

This is great! Thank You and safe travels!

You give A+ presentations. I have been using RV Parky and have been happy with it.

Thank you, I learned some new things about Google Maps today that will help me in my travels.

Super great presentation. Thanks

Thank you again for another informative video!

You can save maps as bookmarks. Google stores the URL of the map as a bookmark (in a folder you choose) and will completely reproduce the map with the stops when you open the bookmark later. It even remembers the zoom level of your view of the map.

you can keep your route and open another window of google map to create the new map. Then copy your stop's GPS locations and paste it to the new map without typing each location name to find it in your created map.

I have watched a number of videos on this very topic, and yours is by far THE best! Thank you for leading us though this maze that is so confusing! ~ Kir in Tennessee

Great info... I have to learn how to do all that.

Great video! So much valuable information, thanks!

Fantastic video, a great help in planning. Thanks so much.

I recently used Google Maps "My Maps" to show a friend our route but ran into challenges. I'm thrilled to learn all your tips! Fabulous!

thank you learnt soooo much no idea google maps did this now will use on our trip through france thank you so much

Really great information! I learned how to use Google Maps to create a trip plan. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing. I really had know idea how to plan a trip using Google maps.

Now that was darn handy! :). Thanks so much from Coeur d Alene Idaho. Hop skip and a jump from Spokane. Getting my first Class B in 3 weeks🤞🤞

Hi! Thank you for sharing this google map. It useful.

I just discovered your channel and I really appreciate the tips you provided. Nice job!

That was great!! Thank you.

Really enjoyed the tips, thank you for all of the information. I found it interesting and helpful. When you added color to your maps you chose the color green. Supposedly, the color green when chosen indicates a very strong person who feels very solid about their opinions. Think of the giant green sequoia, “ my roots are deep and very strongly planted , it would be difficult to move me.” Looking forward to your next video. We are now in Friday harbor Washington. Beautiful green trees, blue sky’s and cool temperatures.

Thank you so much for all of the shared information. I use Google maps but now understand better how to create maps for our trips. By the way, we are just getting back from our Southwest trip and your tips and suggestions were invaluable. Thanks again.

Thank you for the great tips and information!

Thanks for the tips and tricks you use for your travels. Packing up the last things in my Van and will be taking a short trip to NY to visit my wife’s family, then on the road west.

Thanks for all the tips I use Google maps but learned a lot today.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Loved these tips. Didn't know Google maps did this. Thank you.

Wow, I am totally under using google maps...I had no idea! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing the brilliant ideas to unitize the google map

great explanation have a great summer!!!!

One app that we use is "iExit" It shows what's coming up at the next exit and also shows rest areas Even shows what fuel is available.

This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the info! I had no idea!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Love your videos.

I'm been following your vlogs for must be over two years! Love seeing your travels and the countryside as it's so big and open. That's was really helpful, I live in the UK use Google maps some of the time but didn't think to use like that, thanks👍look forward to your next vlog. Till then have a good week😊

This was the best travel video how to ever! So appreciated! ❤️

Really great tips so thank you for sharing.

Big help for me. Thanks.

Hey I see you're a Nick Zentner fan!! Never cared much about geology until I found his videos and now I wish there was a Nick in every state with interesting mountains/topo features. Your explanation on Google Maps as resource and My Maps was a step above, thank you.

Good info..thanks

This is a wonderful and very informative video presentation. Thank you so much :)

Extremely helpful! Thank you so much 😊

You are so smart, Thanks

Really helpful!thanks

Neat to see a new video!

Excellent information. Gas buddy map filter I didn’t know, thanks

i just installed the google map app on my iphone for upcoming trip. somehow i thought it was on there already but it is apple maps instead which would not let me inport route from the desktop computer. thanks for explaining this and taking time to do this video!

Great video!

Very informative. I’m going to start digging into this a bit more. Tip: you can open google maps in two windows and use split screen. That way you can plan in Maps and then create in Your Place at the same time and not need the extra step of screenshots etc.

Thank you. Very helpful

Nice demonstration of MyMaps Debbie! A lot of people will benefit from your video. If people want to take MyMaps one step further, list the stops in a spreadsheet (or Google Sheet) and then import that into MyMaps. Once imported you can still adjust the map for a more specific route or adjust the icon appearance as you would if you manually entered the stops. If you only have a handful of stops and want a quick map this might be overkill, but if you're wanting to show a lot of stops like an entire travel season (and want to display additional data) it is a good fit. The import method is what we use to generate our maps as we use a spreadsheet to track # nights, campground costs, and such anyway. Have a great and safe summer travel season!

Fantastic Map Tips for future traveling. I subscribed and looking forward to learning more useful tips from your channel. Thanks.

This veas very helpful, thank you!

Hi Debbie! My husband and I are in our first long trip in our “Density” Winnebago Travato 59k camper van. We rely on your helpful tips and have worked many into our rig. I’d be interested in knowing how you wash dishes, especially when boondocking/dry camping on public land. Thanks!

Wow! what a great explanation! I just found your channel and subscribing right away!

Great info as usual. Marcy and I look forward to your videos whether gear, travel or tip videos. I can suggest a couple of shortcuts : With Gas Buddy you can click the little angled arrow at the top, select your destination and it will show you all the stations along your route. Similar to seeing the map view but the results are focused along the route. It's one of the first things we do before heading out in the morning. On Google Maps when you hover your mouse over an attraction or campground the box describing the site pops up and you can click on the "add stop" icon right there in that little box instead of going all the way over to the left. Not much savings, but a little. I know the videos are a lot of work but they are much appreciated.
