Import Your Maps in Google City Tours

Google City Tours, the service that generates walking tours for important cities, has a new feature that lets you import custom maps. After logging to a Google Account, you can go to the importing page and select one of your maps.


The service would more useful if you could customize a tour by reordering sights and defining constraints. Other features that seems to be missing: saving tours, sharing and printing tours.

Google City Tours will probably become a feature of Google Maps that will help you find more about a city and plan your trips.

    It is really a nice service by Google to those who like to travel a lot from cities to cities.

    This sounds like a really cool feature to explorer your cities in different ways via these tours.

    Were the default tours built by Google or did they just pick something from their users' maps? I was decidedly unimpressed by the maps of NYC, Greenwich Village, London and Stockholm. At least I know those places well enough to know the tour maps suck. If I trusted their tours of unfamiliar cities, I'd really miss a lot.
    GMAPS on a mobile should show what any GPS shows: point-of-interest in the area, by category.

    This would naturally mesh well with NextStop - hopefully Google will realize the potential synergies soon.

    I really like Google City Tours, especially because my Mom is coming to visit me in LA next month and I would love her to map out all the places we can walk to from her hotel :)
