Google My Maps is a tool which enables you to create custom maps highlighting locations on a Google map. You can add markers, draw shapes, add text notes, add photos, group items, and lots more.
The great thing is that maps can be collaborative so you could create and edit a map with others.

You could use My Maps to mark and share information about the locations of battles, or signifcant places in towns and cities during the wars. You could even use it to create a digital trail around your local area.
