Fortunately there are several free tools out today that allow you to store your own created maps. The best by a large margin is Google, who has put an amazing amount of effort into their mapping business since 2005. Anyone who recalls the Mapquest days can attest to this.<\/p>\n

Google offers a feature called My Maps<\/a>. My Maps allows you to easily create your own maps with pins, or routes, or even areas. You\u2019ll need a Google Account in order to use this.<\/p>\n
