Your free, editable world map for Google Slides!
If you’re an avid PowerPoint user you may be familiar with its handy map feature, which allows users to add a fully customisable world map to their slides. It’s a useful resource and one that we wish Google Slides had too. Whilst Slides has great in-built features and resources – from graphs and charts to free add-on icon sets – it just isn’t as feature heavy as PowerPoint, and misses out on some useful tools. We really struggled without the ability to add customisable maps to Google Slides, so we made our own!
And if, like us, you are looking for a way to add editable maps to Google Slides, we’ve made our maps available for free for you to download and use as well!

Maps are a great tool for telling visual stories; illustrating how locations around the world connect, showing global route maps for travel logistics, or presenting geographical statistics in an engaging way. There’s loads you can do with a well designed map. Here are a few examples.

Your google maps are perfect for my 7th grade Geography! Thank you
Thanks Sherry, so glad the maps have helped!
Great map and resource! Unfortunately more than a few countries are missing (e.g. Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, South Sudan).
Great spot Stephan – thanks for bringing our attention to this. We’ll look into it.
Downloaded the powerpoint and it’s just 10 empty slides?
Hi DP, from your other comments it looks like this has been resolved. Thanks!
Hi, thanks for the maps! It appears that there is a mistake in India’s shape (northern part). Refer to the official maps for the correct shape. Thanks!
Hi DP,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
Thank you so much for creating and sharing this resource!! It’s amazing – exactly what I was looking for to share with my students. You are AWESOME. Thank you, Thank you!
I am trying to remove certain countries, and all works, except that I am not able to remove china from the world map, any idea what I can do?
This is amazing! Thanks a million for the resource and the directions!
I was super excited about this until I discovered that some countries in Central Asia were not properly defined. Kyrgyzstan and Tajiksitan were included as part of China. I was quite disappointed that separate countries were advertised but not accurately outlined! If this is fixed, this map would be perfect.
