# Google Maps

It is pretty easy to import Epicollect5 data into Google Maps (by using [My Maps](https://www.google.com/mymaps))

Go to <https://www.google.com/mymaps> and log in with your Google Account.

Click on "+ CREATE A NEW MAP".

On the new map, click on the import button.

Pick the `.csv` file with your downloaded data. ([How to download data?](/web-application/downloading-data.md)). Wait for the upload to complete.

You will be asked to pick the latitude and longitude from your data set. Epicollect5 prepends "**lat\_**" and "**long\_**" to latitude and longitude columns respectively.

We are using the EC5 Demo Project for this example so we will pick "**lat\_3\_Where\_are\_you**" as the latitude and "**long\_3\_Where\_are\_you**" as the longitude.

Now you will be asked to pick a column of your data set to be used as the title for the placemark. Epicollect5 conveniently has a "**title**" column assigned to each of your entries ([learn more about entry title](/formbuilder/title.md)) therefore that is an obvious choice.
