YouTube and Google have combined forces. Now, when video creators set locations for their different videos, these videos will appear on Google Maps. This is called “geotagging”.
For example, if you post a video on YouTube documenting your recent trip to New York City and set NYC as the location for your video, then it would appear on a special YouTube layer of Google Maps. These videos are playable from within Google Maps.
To geotag your videos, select “Date and Map Options” while you are editing the video information within YouTube.
These videos are only viewable within the “My Maps” section of Google Maps, this means you need to login to your Google account first to use this feature.
