Map to Plot Multiple Locations (Step-by-Step Guide)
How to Create a Map to Plot Multiple Locations: A Developer’s Guide
Need to visualize multiple addresses, store locations, or geographic data points on a single map? While Google Maps excels at showing one location, plotting multiple points requires technical expertise. Here’s the working method developers use to create custom multi-location maps.
The Technical Approach: Custom Google Maps Implementation
This method provides maximum flexibility but requires programming skills and Google Cloud setup.
Step 1: Google Cloud Project Setup
- 1. Go to [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/) and create a new project
- 2. Enable billing (generous free tier available)
- 3. Enable these required APIs:
- – Maps JavaScript API (core mapping)
- – Geocoding API (address conversion)
- – Places API (location search)
- 1. Navigate to Credentials → Create Credentials → API Key
- 2. Immediately restrict your key:
- – Application: HTTP referrers
- – Domain: `*.yourdomain.com/*`
- – APIs: Only the three listed above
Step 3: Build the Advanced Plotting Map
Create `plot-multiple-locations.html` with this sophisticated code:
