    Tips, Tricks, and Lessons Learned

    1. What’s a Nutria Rat?
    2. Using MyMaps.Google.Com to build a travel schedule for your next trip
    3. The Map you create is automatically housed in your google drive for easy sharing with friends and family. Works on Desktop ONLY. You can view the maps on mobile, though.

      • Google Maps Step by Step Support Page
        1. Create a Google Account for your next big event. Keep all things about the event separated from your personal information… FOR FREE.
          • Gmail will give you a go-to place for all of the logistical messages you’ll send back and forth without cluttering your existing Gmail accounts.
          • Stay up to date and schedule appointments with Google Calendar.
          • Store important documents in one place via Drive.
          • You can even use Google Voice to create a free phone number to text and call others without exposing your personal phone number.
