Purpose
This article explains how to access and update your organization’s shared Google My Map.
The map is already created by MondoCRM and the client—you’ll open it and review or update data infrequently.
1) Log In to Your Google Account
- Open https://accounts.google.com.
- Sign in with the provided credentials:
Email: example@gmail.com
Password: ********
- If prompted, complete 2-Step Verification or any security checks.
- After login, open a new tab for your map link.
2) Open the Shared Map
Click or paste your map URL:
- If multiple maps appear, select [Project Name] – Annual Map.
- The map opens in Google My Maps.
- Need a visual? See the video section “How to Open Google My Maps” at 01:41.
3) Review or Edit Map Data
View only: Click any pin or shape to see details.
Edit:
- Click Open in My Maps (upper-left, if you see a preview state).
- Use the pencil icon to edit titles, notes, or locations.
- If instructed, upload/replace the annual CSV file for the correct layer.
- For a demonstration, see “Adding Map Points & Customizing” at 05:14 in the video.
4) Save and Close
- Auto-save: My Maps saves changes automatically.
- Close the browser tab when finished.
- If edits were made, notify your data coordinator to confirm the annual update is complete.
5) Annual Review Tips
