Let's get started:

1. Apply Custom Text

Editable maps for PowerPoint will include plenty of space for descriptive text. All you need to do is replace the dummy text with your own. 

Highlight the contents of any text box, then simply start typing. You can always apply text effects, new font styles, and more by going to the Font section on the Home tab.

2. Change Map Colors

An editable map for PPT like this one features all fifty states. Notice how several have different colors. That’s a great way to highlight a given area, and PowerPoint map templates make it easy.

Click on a state, then go to the Shape Format tab. There, click Shape Fill. A color chooser menu will appear. 

From there, you can apply built-in Theme Colors that are included with the template. Or explore and apply your own. That’s the power of map templates for PowerPoint.

3. Remove and Rearrange Slide Content

Editable PowerPoint map slide decks will include a vast array of content placeholders. But if you want a cleaner look, you might prefer not to use all of them.

Easy. Click on any object to select it, then press Delete on your keyboard. It’ll instantly vanish. Once complete, you may want to rearrange slide content. Click and drag any object, and watch helpful guidelines appear to keep things aligned.

4. Animate Objects 

Animating editable maps for PowerPoint helps you keep your slide deck flowing smoothly. It’s especially handy if you want to introduce concepts in order.

Start by clicking on any object to select it. Then, click on the Animations tab. Spend some time clicking through the animation dropdowns. 

If you see an effect that interests you, click to apply it. Watch as PowerPoint instantly previews the effect. Want to go back? Simply click Undo and continue working.

5. Add Photo Fills

Photo fills are a great way to make an unforgettable map for PPT. Start by clicking on an object, then return to the Shape Format > Shape Fill dropdown.

This time click Picture. Browse to an image file saved on your computer, then click Insert. The shape on your map will immediately fill with the picture while keeping its shape! You’re sure to impress audiences with this quick trick.

5 Quick Tips to Using Editable Maps in Your Presentations in 2021

Have you found and downloaded your favorite map template for PowerPoint? Good. Now it's time to make the best use of that editable map template. Here are some tips:

1. Use Symbols

Use symbols to make a city you're presenting stand out. You can also use symbols to mark multiple places on the map. Using symbols will make the place or places you're talking about clear to the audience. Having visual cues in a presentation is a good way to give your audience something to look at while you're giving the presentation.

2. Focus on Your Goal

When making your presentation, keep everything in line with your goal. If you need to, before making your presentation think about who the audience is and what the main point is that you want to get across. When you're making the slides for your presentation, make sure that all the slides and images on the slides are cohesive with your main message. If you've got visuals or points on a slide that don't have anything to do with your goal, you may confuse your audience.

3. Keep It Simple

It's helpful to use symbols and maps to drive your point home, but don't have too many visuals on one slide. If you overcrowd a slide, it can distract the audience from what you're saying. Also, it can overwhelm the audience or confuse them. It's best to remember when adding symbols and visuals to keep it simple.

4. Instead of Bullet Points...

When using maps, most of the templates come with boxes that you can add to the map. These would be great to use instead of bullet points. Using the boxes adds more interest for your audience and your slide looks less like a wall of text. Using the boxes on the map helps you make your point clear. For example, if you're talking about several cities instead of using bullet points put a location marker with a box above each city. This lets the audience see the area you're covering in your presentation.

5. Avoid Free Editable Map Templates

While you may be tempted to download a free editable US map or other free map template, if you do so you'll miss out on some of the benefits of using a premium map presentation template, which include:

• professional design


• unique look and feel


• support from the template author


• ease of use


• wide variety of choices

While there are some high-quality free editable maps for PowerPoint, often you get what you pay for.
