Any suggestions on how to overlay the Rick Steves walking tour tracks over Google Maps?

I do not know how to do it on Google Maps, but I use a site called PlotaRoute to do this. There are other apps as well, like Map My Walk, maybe All Trails?

I'm preparing a couple of Rick's walks in Amsterdam using Google's MyMaps:

It's quite easy, you can share a map you've created with others, and you can view it in the Google Maps mobile app as well. You can create a path using the Draw a Line tool, and add points of interest either by clicking existing place markers on the map (like a restaurant, for example) or by dropping a point on the map with the Add Marker tool.

I've used Google's My Maps as well that way. It's pretty easy and very efficient.

I didn't know My Maps was a thing. Thank you guys for sharing! I have wished for something like this!
