Webpage map with river route[edit]

How do I create a map that has an exploration route along some rivers highlighted on it, that I can embed on a webpage? I have looked at Google maps API and the Google maps JavaScript API version, but it seems like I will need to have a huge amount of geocodes to create a polyline. Is there a less arduous free option? The aforementioned Google API, a little JavaScript, HTML, and CSS are the limits of my coding expertise. Thanks for the help.--Dreamahighway (talk) 00:58, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried Google Maps Engine? F (talk) 04:18, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This looks like it will do the trick. Thanks so much!--Dreamahighway (talk) 19:43, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
