Why Export Google Maps Saved Places to CSV?
Organize in Spreadsheets
Open your saved Google Maps locations in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet app for easy sorting, filtering, and organization. If you publish those places on a website, generate LocalBusiness structured data for them in seconds.
Use case: Sort restaurants by rating, filter places by country, or create trip-specific spreadsheets from your starred locations.
Migrate to Other Map Apps
Use the CSV data to import your saved places into other mapping services like Apple Maps, OsmAnd, Sygic, or any GPS application.
Use case: Switching from Google Maps or need offline navigation for a trip — export once and import everywhere.
Backup Your Places
Create a permanent backup of all your starred locations and custom lists. Never lose your carefully curated Google Maps saved places collection.
Use case: Protect years of saved restaurants, travel spots, and favorite locations from accidental deletion or account issues.
Search & Filter Places
Google Maps has no search function for saved places. With CSV data in a spreadsheet, you can instantly search, filter, and find any location.
Use case: Find that restaurant you saved 3 years ago by searching the name or address in your spreadsheet.
Trip Planning & Sharing
Export your Google Maps travel lists to CSV and share them with friends, family, or travel companions in a clean, readable spreadsheet format. Running a business? You can also export your Google reviews to CSV the same way.
Use case: Share a curated list of "Best Restaurants in Tokyo" from your Google Maps with your travel group.
100% Private & Secure
This tool processes your Google Maps data entirely in your browser. No data is uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy of your location information.
How it works: JavaScript reads your file locally, converts it in-browser, and downloads the CSV directly to your device.
Google explains how to download your Maps data in its Google Takeout help article. Large exports can take hours to prepare, and the download link is sent by email.
What to do with your CSV next
A CSV on its own is just a backup. The real value comes from what you do with it, and three uses cover most people.
Rebuild a list as a shareable map. Google My Maps can import a CSV that has latitude and longitude columns. Create a new map, choose Import, select the file and tell it which columns hold the coordinates and which holds the place name. You get a map you can share with a link, colour-code by category and print, which is something saved lists in the Maps app still cannot do well.
Plan a trip in a spreadsheet. Open the CSV in Google Sheets, add columns for day, opening hours and priority, then sort. A list of 120 saved places in a city becomes a three-day plan in about twenty minutes. If you are travelling with others, share the sheet instead of sending a dozen map links.
Move to another map app. Many navigation and offline map apps accept CSV or GPX imports. If the app wants GPX, convert the CSV with any free CSV-to-GPX converter, keeping the name, latitude and longitude columns.
Common problems and how to fix them
- Some rows have no coordinates. Places saved from search results sometimes export with an address or URL but empty or zero coordinates. Keep the Maps URL column: opening it still finds the place, and you can fill the coordinates later if you need them on a map.
- Accents and symbols look broken in Excel. The file is UTF-8. In Excel, use Data, then From Text/CSV, and choose UTF-8 as the file origin instead of double-clicking the file.
- Your custom lists are missing. Starred places and custom lists are separate in Takeout. Starred places come from "Maps (your places)" as Saved Places.json. Custom lists come from "Saved" as one CSV per list. Export both and convert each file.
- The Takeout file never arrives. Check the archive status at takeout.google.com. Large exports can take a day, and selecting only the Maps products makes it much faster.
Why location data deserves extra care
A list of saved places is a surprisingly personal file. It can show where you live, where your children go to school, which clinic you use and where you travel. That is why this converter reads the file inside your browser and never uploads it. Before you share the resulting CSV, delete rows you would not want other people to see, such as home, work or medical addresses. If you also manage a business profile, the same privacy-first approach applies to the Google Reviews Exporter, and our guide to exporting reviews safely explains why it matters.
