How to create a new page template

thank you for the quick reply.
i kind of get how to create a new page template. i just need to name it the right way. but is there also a way to create a new template which i can choose from within a page while i edit it? here:

and another question:
i want to show a fullwidth map within this new page template i’m creating. but i can’t get it to work. i inserted a div tag right after the container is closed. inside this div tag i put a shortcode. now the frontend only shows the code but doesn’t replace it by the map. how can i make this work?
the full page template looks like that:

<?php
global $avia_config;

	/*
	 * get_header is a basic wordpress function, used to retrieve the header.php file in your theme directory.
	 */
	 get_header();

 	 if( get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'header', true) != 'no') echo avia_title();
	 ?>

		<div class='container_wrap container_wrap_first main_color <?php avia_layout_class( 'main' ); ?>'>

			<div class='container'>

				<main class='template-page content  <?php avia_layout_class( 'content' ); ?> units' <?php avia_markup_helper(array('context' => 'content','post_type'=>'page'));?>>

                    <?php
                    /* Run the loop to output the posts.
                    * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
                    * called loop-page.php and that will be used instead.
                    */

                    $avia_config['size'] = avia_layout_class( 'main' , false) == 'entry_without_sidebar' ? '' : 'entry_with_sidebar';
                    get_template_part( 'includes/loop', 'page' );
                    ?>

				<!--end content-->
				</main>

				<?php

				//get the sidebar
				$avia_config['currently_viewing'] = 'page';
				get_sidebar();

				?>

			</div><!--end container-->

		</div><!-- close default .container_wrap element -->

<div class='map-fullwidth'>[wpgmza id="2"]</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

thank you very much for your help!

just a little remark. the code should be:

<div class='map-fullwidth'>

<?php echo do_shortcode('[wpgmza id="2"]'); ?>

</div>

you forgot the “echo”. but now its working perfectly.
