Frequently Asked Questions
What is a KML file?
KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is a file format used to display geographic data. Google My Maps exports your custom maps as KML files, which contain coordinates, place names, and route information. Our tool converts these files into navigable Google Maps URLs.
How do I export from Google My Maps?
In Google My Maps, click the three dots menu next to your map title, select "Export to KML/KMZ", then choose "Export as KML". The file will download to your device, ready for upload to our converter.
Why use this over other converters?
Our converter is completely privacy-focused (no data stored), handles large routes with automatic segmentation for Google Maps' 10-stop limit, works on all devices, and is completely free. Plus, it's optimized specifically for travel and navigation use cases.
What happens to routes with more than 10 stops?
Google Maps can only navigate 10 stops at a time. Our tool automatically breaks down larger routes into balanced segments of 4-10 stops each, providing separate navigation links for each segment so you can complete your entire route.
Is my data safe and private?
Absolutely. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your KML files are never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere. The conversion happens locally on your device, ensuring complete privacy.
