Update July 2019: This map is no longer up to date for the properties that APLE REIT owns but is here as an example of what can be done with Google Maps.
Recently I have some of my investment portfolio exposed to Apple Hospitality REIT. I like how they put together their interactive map of hotels they own and their directory; however I really wanted to get a bird’s eye view of where all their hotels in the United States were, so I made my own custom Google Map of their hotels.
