You can use customised maps to highlight where special events are taking place. This is most effective when events are spread over multiple locations.
Here are examples of Special Event Maps created using Google Maps.
The first example shows a Google Map for an event that runs over a specific time period:-
Lines can be added to show the route* associated the map and the default background map style can be changed :-
The following example shows a permanent trail, one that can be used to create an event anytime :-
The next example shows the locations and dates for multiple events taking place over a set time period like a bank holiday weekend or the Christmas season :-
Google maps like these can be embedded on websites/blogs before the events and removed after the events have taken place.
*OS Maps can also be used if the event incorporates a route.
