Hi @LuisRG

I used My Maps for the first time when I was introduced to Local Guides Connect and it’s a really cool application. I created a map of the places I visited when I was in Chennai & Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India. Also, thank you for sharing the 48 hours series. They’re really good.

You can have a look at the map I created.

Love your demonstration of the maps, I recently just explored this feature and embed on my website and they look great!! I wonder if there is a place that you can search maps that people have shared publicly? I looked and can’t seem to find this feature, do you perhaps know?
