adding multiple saved locations to one map

[+Jminnesota]

IS THIS A CURRENT FEATURE? It is actually why I signed up for Waymarking.com. 

I have a list of saved searches in the Miscellaneous: My Saved Searches.
I would like to have all of them post on a Google Map so I can see how far they are from each other and place lines on a map from one statue to another OR line up one park bench to a building miles away. Kinda like pins on Google Earth. 

Please advise how to pin multiple waymarks to a map.
I already saw a place to click to add one to a map. 

Thank you

I moved this to the Waymarking forum.

This is very confusing!

I guess, I am not the only one here who has no clue what you are talking about.

are you wanting to do this on Google Maps? I can help with that.

Something like Flopps Map might work for you

Check out this example.

Actually, I'd like to see that, too.

OK, here's what I do.

 

From Google Maps (of course) -- in the top left corner is the search box. On the left is the Menu tab. From the pull-down menu, select My Places.

 

Now you make a decision on where to put it. Under the Saved Places tab, there is already a Favorites and Want To Go folder. You could place your new marks in either of these, or go to the Maps tab and make your own map with them. I make my own. Whichever you choose, it works the same.

 

So, open your folder in My Maps. That will open a new window. Search the map to find the place you want to mark. When you are ready - under the search box are some icons. First 2 are arrows. Next on this the Hand toll, the next is the pushpin tool. Use the pushpin to make your mark. You can change the pushpin look and color (I do this for Waymarks to mark or visit). Once you set the pushpin, you can label it with the name, address, (I put the category/categories that I plan on entering it in), whatever.

If you use a Garmin GPSr, use BaseCamp to record all of your waymarks or those of others that you are interested in.   It's easy to use and allows you to group waypoints (such as waymarks, geocaches, etc.) in multiple ways.

Thank You for that info. I'm not sure I will be using it to any great extent in the future, but, should I find the need, it's nice to have this how-to info on hand.

it helps me out a lot. If I'm going out marking, I can do a quick look at what is in the area I'm headed that I want to go by. I've spent way too many trips going back to places I've already been, just to get one or two I forgot about or didn't remember exactly where they were.

 

Of course, I also keep my eyes peeled for things that jump out at me.

For this, we do an Excel sheet, convert to a GPX and put it on our GPS. To get coords on these and other WMs we need to take the GPS anyhow, so why not have everything we're after right there on the GPS when we go out the door?
