Title: Google maps
Post by: Judi_bk on 03 Apr, 2021, 07:48:01 pm

Maybe this should be in the techie section.  I am trying to create a map of the Walk for Life route.  Banging my head against the computer all afternoon.  Azebache is an important landmark but on Google maps there are two  only one in the right place.  Also I would prefer a clearer map to print and draw the route on or prefereably draw it on on the computer but haven't worked out how to do that.  Help!?

Forget google, use Open Street Map
https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=arboleas#map=18/37.35109/-2.07333

This is the type of thing you can work with:

I've added the Azabache and the Museum - give it a few minutes to update the databases and they should appear on your map  :tiphat:
