How to Map Multiple Locations on Google Maps

If you’re looking for a quick, no-code way to create a single map, try Simple Map Maker. It’s free, requires no signup, and is great for:

• Plotting locations
• Drawing shapes
• Setting up basic routes
• Making fast interactive maps without worrying about embedding or APIs

It’s the easiest way to build a new map in minutes — though there isn’t a save map function.

If you need more functionality—like custom marker colors, points of interest controls, or detailed styling—try Atlist. It’s powerful but still an easy-to-use, no-code tool for designing beautiful multiple location maps.

You can create:

• Store locator maps
• Multi-stop routes
• Road trip maps
• Route planning maps
• Maps with street view buttons
• Maps with searchable points of interest
• You can also assign groups or tags so users can filter locations.

Atlist also makes it simple to embed your map on any website.

And though Atlist is flexible, it’s also easy-to-use. So you won’t need to learn code to access all it’s functionality.

Here’s a quick tutorial on how to use Atlist:

Head to Atlist and click Create Map—this generates a completely new map with default settings. From here, you can add individual places or upload a spreadsheet to begin mapping multiple locations on your own map.

Atlist gives you two ways to add markers:

1. Add Single Markers

Use the search bar to find locations using Google Maps-style geocoding. You can fine-tune the latitude and longitude if needed:

You can also drop markers with the Drop Marker button:

2. Import Multiple Locations (CSV or Google Sheets)

If you have a lot of location data, you can just upload a CSV or sync to a Google Sheet.

This is ideal for:

• Franchise or retailer maps
• Tourism maps
• Real estate maps
• Store locators
• Use cases where large datasets need to be mapped
• Any scenario where mapping multiple locations saves time

What’s a CSV?

A CSV is a universal, plain-text spreadsheet format used across Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, and Microsoft Excel. Save your Excel files as CSV and upload them directly.

After uploading, Atlist automatically places every marker—instantly giving you a complete multi-location map.

Clicking any marker opens a modal. Modals support:

• Notes
• Photos
• Videos
• Buttons (including one-click Google Maps directions)
• Custom HTML

Modals turn your map into an interactive map experience rather than just pins on a screen.

If you need to include additional information — for example, a phone number— you can include it in Notes.

Example of an open modal

Go to Customize → Map.

Here you can adjust:

• Map themes (light, dark, minimalist, terrain, etc.)
• Point of interest labels
• Marker colors for clarity and grouping
• Terrain views or simplified views

If you need more options, you can even switch to Satelite mode which gives you a Google Earth-feel.

Selecting a different map theme

Under Style → Markers, you can change:

• Marker icon
• Marker color
• Marker size
• Marker border

Atlist offers helpful advanced features, including:

• Shapes — Draw polygon and radius shapes
• Groups — Organize markers
• Tags — Filter markers dynamically
• Search — Find the nearest location
• Current Location button
• Street View button
• Disable zoom
• Full screen mode
• Sync spreadsheet data from a Google Sheet

These options make Atlist one of the best tools for customizing your own maps without code.

Once your map is ready, go to Publish. Sharing or embedding a map with Atlist does require a paid plan. Check out pricing for more on that.

1. Share a Link

Atlist generates a direct link you can share anywhere.

2. Embed the map

Click Embed Code for an HTML snippet you can paste into any website — including:

• Squarespace
• Wix
• Webflow
• WordPress
• Framer

You can also customize the embed dimensions for iOS, Android, and desktop.

Google My Maps is free mapping software from Google. I think it’s a solid tool for pin maps and routing — it supports:

• Multi-stop route planning and route optimization
• Importing KML, CSV, and Excel files
• Loading your map into the regular Google Maps app (iOS + Android)
• Road trip and route planning
• Basic customization options

It has fewer customization options, but for many use cases, it gets the job done.

This tutorial is a great way to learn Google My Maps.
