How to Edit Saved Directions on Google Maps

With a free Google account, you can create and save maps using the My Maps feature. To save driving directions, create the map, click the "Save to My Maps" link in the left pane at the bottom of the driving directions, and choose a name for the map. If you need to manually change the directions, edit the map and the text driving directions will automatically change to the new route.

2. Click "Edit" on the top-right corner of the left pane.

3. Hover the cursor over the line designating the route until a small circle appears.

4. Click and hold the left mouse button, and then drag the line to the desired route.

5. Click "Done" to finish editing.

6. Click on the line description in the left pane to view the new driving directions.
