    This is what the locations look like on Google maps:

    And this is how I set up the map:

    I'm not done yet but does this look ok for the invites?  There's the hotel block, church, and reception place. I feel like it look a little weird.  I had to mix up the scale so that I could show the streets around the locations while the actual places are really really spread out

    Any suggestions?

    Looks good to me, but I think you should make the location marker bigger and something that would standout more. I would also label the locations , i.e. church (or the actual name of the church).

    I was thinking of adding little clipart for each location and in the top right corner list the clipart and the location with the address.  I meant to say that in the post but I forgot lol

    Thanks!!

    Good work! I think adding clip art will help a lot & really add some interest to the map. Did you follow a tutorial or are you just that awesome? I mean that because I've tried to make a map before and failed pretty miserably. lol

    I followed what I've read here!  I copied pictures from google maps and drew lines in powerpoint to follow the major roads, it wasn't too hard but it did take me about 3 hours lol

    looks great! i would defintely use clip art in place of the asterisks, and maybe add more street names for 2 of your locations (the ones on the bottom).

    How are you printing these? I made my map following the instructions found on this site months ago (using PowerPoint). Now I can't figure out how to print them without it being the entire page or way too small! Any advice?

    Looks good. You can also use www.weddingmapper.com I added the link to the bottom of my printed map. You can add locations, gas stations, malls, restaurants, etc for OOT guests.

    @Purquez2011: I can try and help!  How did you make yours?  Did you make it on a regular size slide or did you set the slide size to the exact size that you wanted it?

    @ninefivethree: You can still use it, like I did, for OOT guests.

    @ninefivethree: Oh...that would be great! I made it on a regular slide. I also have a Mac, if that changes things :)

    Please PM me with advice! Thanks!
