Map app or website - Customizable and printable

I used to love Google Maps but they ruined it with the latest upgrade. So for my upcoming trip to Italy I'm now looking for a website or an app that will allow me to create a custom map, preferably with the ability to lay out itineraries for different days, including sights, restaurants, etc. Even better if I can print them out, as I prefer not to be dealing with a smartphone or tablet as I walk around.

I looked at Tripomatic but it was too frustrating to use. (Twice I created an entry for a restaurant that I want to go to, just to have it disappear.)

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Michael...you do have the ability to change it back to classic view...little thingamaginy lower right far left side nex to tools. I too was panicked yesterday when I pulled up the new one...too old to make changes.

Gerri, thanks but the upgrade to Google Maps tells me the following: "You won’t be able to access, create, or edit your My Maps from the classic Google Maps anymore." I upgraded a few months ago when they told me Classic Maps was going away. Boy do I regret doing that.

So I'm still looking for a map app or website similar to what Google Maps used to be like before they ruined it.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I use Viamichelin.com to print out my travel maps for Italy.

Thanks, James. What I'm looking for is something that allows me to add various sites that I want to visit, such as museums, restaurants, etc. along with my comments about each. Even better if I can lay out daily itineraries, such as a walking tour. In essence, what Google Maps used to be before they ruined it.

it doesn't appear that I can do that on Viamichelin.com. I may have to go old school and use a purchased map, and mark it up.

Michael,

Again, not sure if this is what you want, but city maps to go does allow for saving places and creating notes. I have saved places, but never used the note function.
