As I am looking for work, I wanted to have a visual idea of where I am looking.

Not long ago I stumbled upon a way to draw lines on a map thanks to our overlords at Google. I wanted it to be able to easily share it and have it edible, I mean editable (I am currently hungry). After a few key strokes I rediscovered the service as Google My Maps.

Using it, I created this to show a rough area and a preferred area I want to work and move to.

Looking at this map I now can easily factor out areas if I end up working at an hourly pay and the cost margins on time and travel exceed the budget.

Does having something visual like this help you?
