How to put tags on google maps to show friends where to park?

Q. I am trying to edit google maps or some sorta map thing that I can show to my friends to let them know where to park and where to meet up.

I used the google map maker but that changes the whole thing permanantly. I added a parking marker and it is pending.

I just need an application so taht I dont have to draw a map by hand and put an X on where to park.
How do I do this?
Thanks

A. 1. To use Google Maps, first you have to either SIGN UP or SIGN IN with your email
address and a password.
2. Click the box in top, right-hand corner to enable either a plain, or a satellite map.
3. Move around the map and zoom in to where you want to put the placemark.
4. At top left, click the box labelled "My places".
5. Click on the red box labelled "CREATE MAP". Enter title, e.g. "Party" and save it.
6. You'll notice 3 icons pop up at top left of map. Click on the middle one, which is
"Add a placemark". Then drag it to the spot you want (it will move whether or not you
depress the left mouse button). Then click it again and enter a title and/or description,
e.g. "Meeting Place". Then click "OK". If you get it wrong or want to change it, click
on the icon that will pop up on the left panel, so you can delete it.
7. For privacy and sharing settings, click on either "Public" or "Unlisted".

If you want to put more than one icon on your map, unfortunately, they're all the same
shape and the same colour, and you can't add text. However, the right-most icon at
the top allows you to draw lines and shapes, so to differentiate between placemarks,
you may have to get creative.

How can I find the Great Wall of China on Google Map?
Q. I've been trying to find the Great Wall for a long time on Google Map, but I just can't find it! Is it because the resolution of the image is bad on that area? Or is it because it is too small? (I heard you can see it from the moon!) Can anybody help me please?

A. In Google map, you can type in "Great Wall of China" and the map will will show you the location for the Great Wall of China. But you can not zoom in to the detail level. The image is simply not available on the map site. If you switch to view in satellite mode, you can a tiny shadow of the wall.

How can I turn a google map with multiple addresses into a list?

A. Try Google Support. It'll work really well.
