Google Maps – Fix Blank Screen Issue When Logged in on Chrome

You can create your own personalized google map and share it privately or publicly (like documents in google drive). You can even embed it in your website, blog,...

Head over to https://mapsengine.google.com. I think everything is pretty straightforward.

It got the options for basic things you need. You can add layers, markers, change the map base, draw some lines. It also supports adding driving directions.

What I really like is the possibility of collaboration with others (when planning a trip with bigger group and deciding the routes etc.)

EDIT

If you want to add markers at specific coordinates follow these instructions (look at the second image below). First, enter latitude and longtitude coordinates in available formats and do the search (1). You will get your search result listed on the left side, click on it so it will get selected (2). The information window will pop up on the map on the top of the coordinates marker. Click on "Add to map" to add coordinates as your marker (3). You can then modify it as any other marker.

I am also a frequent My Maps user.

On 16 September, I received an email I had been expecting for some time (based on previous announcements from Google about Maps) saying

Hi, We want to let you know that in the coming months, we're upgrading the content you created in My Maps. All of the maps that you've created will automatically move to the new Google My Maps (previously called Google Maps Engine). Classic My Maps on maps.google.com will no longer be available. You don't have to take any action to ensure all your content will be upgraded.

The FAQ pointed to from this email says: https://support.google.com/maps/answer/6009908

It doesn't explicitly say that the Save to Map feature has been removed - but then it's really about new Maps, not My Maps Classic. Google's usual style would be to note announce feature removal like this, when the feature concerned is being replaced by another one.

Currently, if I go to maps.google.com, I am re-directed to the new maps.

However if I go to a website where one of my existing maps is embedded and click the "view in a larger map", I do go back to Classic My Maps, and am able to edit the existing map. However when I am doing so, and I search for a place, there is no longer a Save to Map option.

I am expecting that the ability to edit maps in My Maps classic will be removed sooner or later - and at that point I personally will need to upgrade one account to My Maps Pro to get one of the features I need.
