Here’s an easy way to use Google Maps to create your own interactive driving routes or walking tours. The website Wayfaring.com has done all the coding for you. All you have to do is locate your points on a map, give them descriptions, and you’re done. You can also connect waypoints to create routes.
In our example, we marked a few important works by Bernini on a map of Rome. Others browsing this map can add new waypoints and/or create their own walking tour using the points we’ve laid out. You can also explore other maps by tag or search on wayfaring.com.
This is a fairly new website, and is still a bit buggy. And, at the moment, there aren’t any other Rome or Italy maps on the site. But if you decide to recap your driving tour through Tuscany or your walk of vegetable markets in Naples, let us know by sending an e-mail to tips@italofile.com.
Have fun!
