Before you start
- A Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc — all work)
- A Google account with saved places in Google Maps
- About 30 seconds
Step 1 — Install the extension
Install ExportMyMap from the Chrome Web Store. The install is free and takes about 5 seconds — no account to create, no payment details, nothing to configure.
Once installed, pin the extension to your toolbar so you can reach it from any Google Maps tab in a single click.
Step 2 — Open Google Maps
Go to maps.google.com and make sure you're signed into the Google account
that owns the saved places you want to export. ExportMyMap uses your existing Maps
session — it never asks for a separate login or OAuth approval.
Step 3 — Pick a list
Click the list you want to export. ExportMyMap fetches the places inside it using the same internal API Google Maps uses to render your screen, then enriches each place with details (address, phone, website, opening hours, rating, photos) when the format you pick needs them.
For lists over 100 places, enrichment runs in the background and takes a few seconds. A progress bar shows you how many places are ready.
Step 4 — Choose an export format
ExportMyMap supports nine formats. Pick based on what you want to do with the list:
- Share link — a short URL anyone can open in a browser. Good for sending a list to a travel companion. Read more about sharing travel lists →
- Print — a printer-friendly page grouped by country, formatted for paper.
- PDF — the same layout as Print, saved as a PDF file you can email or store offline.
- CSV — a spreadsheet-friendly text file. Opens in Excel, Numbers, and Google Sheets.
- Excel (.xlsx) — native Excel file with formatted columns.
- JSON — raw structured data for developers and custom tooling.
- GeoJSON — works in QGIS, Mapbox, Leaflet, and most GIS tools.
- KML — for Google Earth and any mapping app that accepts KML imports.
- GPX — for GPS devices, Garmin, Strava, and outdoor apps.
Click your chosen format. The file downloads (or the share link copies to your clipboard) immediately.
