This document provides instructions for creating and sharing maps using Google Maps. It outlines how to:
1) Access Google Maps through a web browser.
2) Create a new map by searching for a location and adding points to mark schools or other places.
3) Customize the map by editing styles, labels, layers and sharing the map through a short URL or embedding code.
4) Import additional data layers like census boundaries by downloading files from other sources.
