Upload Locations to Google Maps

All you need to do is create (or download) a file containing the names and addresses, then use the My Maps feature in Google. Here’s the step-by-step.
1. Go to https://www.google.com/mymaps (or google My Maps)
2. Click Create a new map
3. Click Import then select file and upload
4. Select the location field/s and names for the locations then Finish
