Love the video, I refer to it all the time. Need to know how to update the map if I changed the data on the original imported spreadsheet. Not sure If I have to reimport the data. Your help is appreciated. Kay

Thank you for the video. Do you know how I might be able to add data to an existing layer without having to re-enter all of the data, or is there a way I could have the layer automatically update as I enter new information into my Google Sheets?

This is very helpful. Thanks.

You talked about using and changing colors of the pins, can you use images? I’m wanting to create a map of my city with local restaurants instead of using pins, I’d like to use logos. Can that be done?

And is there a way to outline cities or suburbs in a metro area?

Hey, Can you please tell me how to conditional format the google map? I mean to say in CSV file there is a column called height and I want to color-code those locations to RED, Yellow base on some condition in Height Column inside CSV

Hey thank you so much for you video, it was very helpful !
Do you know a way to have the photo directly imported from the CSV file ? It could be in the form of a URL in the excel file and My Maps would successfuly recognize it as the picture, so that it wouldn't be necessary to add them afterwards manually ?

Hi TechHut, I'm trying to create a map to outline and each city in a state. I'm wondering if you can do that with my maps.

[andreasrom]

Hi! Thank you for a great video! :-)

I was wondering if it is possible to add a radius border around the icons to see if the locations is for example less then 500 meters apart from each other? :-)

I work with a large dataset of over 2000 addresses. Is there an option that Google Maps to allow more than 2000 cases in one layer or do I have to split my Excel spreadsheet in separate files of up to 2000 rows?

[michellecouncil]

Is it possible to associate a label next to each icon so that you can see the name of the location next to the icon instead of clicking the icon to see all available info? Thanks.

[rico_el_technico]

Just seen this video really helpful can you add large data sets with this ?

[erichepperlewp]

Great tutorial video, Brandon! I know this isnt' the focus of your channel, but you did say that you would have a longer more complete video linked in the description. -- I don't see that link. *Can you please share a link to the longer video? Thanks and great work*

Is it possible to import lines (shapes) into mymaps?

[jfjoubertquebec]

Is there a way to show "concentrations"? When a marker lands too close to another marker we can't see both nd it looks like "one" ?? I'm thinking of a choropleth map ?

[marctoews]

Really cool and extremely useful for a project I am working on. Is there a way I would I find the column information so I could upload an excel file with the images already in there.
