Plotting on google maps

I found some info to make finding some of the places one may visit just a little easier.
Google My Maps.

basically you can use google to pin point all of your potential haunts , save the map and then view it on your smart phone   when ever you want.

Below are the easy instructions for creating a custom Google “MyMap” with custom  markers…
Advantages of custom Google Maps, “My Maps”

    * You can easily add more places and edit places.
    * You can easily share Google My Maps with others or make your maps public
    * You don’t need to print maps because you can view Google My Maps iPhone (with a 3rd party app)

To activate the Google “MyMaps” feature:

1) Log into your Google account (important)
2) Go to http://maps.google.com
3) See the “MyMaps” features and map list in the left column

To add a new map with new points of interest:
1) Click “MyMaps” in the left column
2) Create a map name where you’ll save the points of interest.


To add points of interest to a map:

1) Type an address or location in the search box, like you normally would with Google Maps,
2) Multiple search results may appear.  in the desired search result,  Click the “Save to…” link to display the “Save to My Maps” drop-down dialog.
3) In the “Save to My Maps” dialog,  select the map to which you want to save this address, then click the “Save” button.
4) A pushpin and text balloon will appear on the map.

To edit the place, add a description, or change push-pin markers

1) Click the “MyMaps” link at top of left column
2) Click the link for map you want to edit
3) Click the [Edit] button at the top right corner of the left column.
4) In the list of places, click the place you want to edit
5) Edit the place name, description, or push-pin marker
6) When finished, click the “Done” button at the top of the left column.

To pull up on iPhone do you need internet access or do you have it as a hard copy stored. If you need internet access this could be a problem if you can't get your map when you need it
