How to Get Your Google Custom Map to Appear in the Map Search Results?

    I designed a google "custom map" for a specific place (a relatively obscure island). I thought about the (geographic) keywords, uploaded plenty of pictures, including geo-tagged images from Panoramio and Flickr (this supposedly helps).

    Two months later there's no sign of it when I Google Map Search the destination. Someone else's custom map does however appear down the left hand side for a standard Google Maps Search (under the "user created maps" section).

    Any tips on how I might get my own map to appear there too?

    N.B. My map does appear when one searches specifically for custom created maps - how can I get it to appear for the standard search?
