Draw Rectangles & Squares on Google Maps — No Code Needed
Need to map out delivery zones, plot real estate lots, or sketch a layout idea? This free tool lets you draw custom rectangles and squares directly on Google Maps—no plugins, logins, or coding required.
Just click, drag, and go.

Key Features
- Rectangle Tool — Turn your mouse into a shape tool. Click and drag to draw a square or rectangle anywhere on the map.
- Color Picker — Choose a fill color before drawing. Your shapes will have a soft transparent fill and solid border.
- Pan Tool — Want to move around? Switch to the pan tool so you can explore without drawing.
How It Works
- Pick a Tool: Use the toolbar to toggle between pan mode and rectangle drawing.
- Choose a Color: Select a color for your next shape.
- Draw a Shape: Click and drag on the map to create your rectangle or square.
- Repeat: Add as many shapes as you need—each one can be a different color.
Everything is built using the Google Maps JavaScript API, so your drawings update in real-time and stay fully interactive. Works perfectly with the broader Google Maps Platform and Google Cloud tools.
