Why Switch

Where Create Mappins Excels

Key differences that matter for business use

Password Protection

Protect sensitive maps with a password. Google My Maps only offers public or unlisted — anyone with the link can view.

Custom Branding

Remove platform branding and add your logo. Google My Maps always shows Google branding you cannot remove.

No Google Account Required

Viewers can interact with your map without signing in. Google My Maps requires a Google account for full features.

Business-Ready

Direct support, data ownership, and professional features. Google My Maps is a consumer tool with limited business capabilities.

Which One?

When to Use Each Tool

Choose Create Mappins if you need:

  • Password-protected maps for internal use
  • Custom branding with your logo
  • Maps accessible without Google accounts
  • More than 2,000 pins per map
  • Professional support for your team

Google My Maps works if you:

  • Only need basic public maps
  • Are fine with Google branding
  • Have fewer than 2,000 locations
  • Don't need password protection
  • All viewers have Google accounts
