Google Maps

Web platform·Moderate

Google Maps includes My Maps, a feature that lets you create custom maps with paths and markers and export them as KML. Import Google Maps routes into MilMap to enrich them with MGRS coordinates and professional operational features. Export MilMap routes as KML to view them in Google Maps or share them via Google My Maps.

How does the integration work?

1

Create a route in Google My Maps

Go to mymaps.google.com → "Create a new map" → use "Add a line" to draw routes.

2

Export as KML

Click the three dots next to the map layer → "Export to KML" → choose KML (not KMZ for better compatibility).

3

Import into MilMap

"Import" → select the KML file. All paths and points are converted to routes and waypoints.

4

Export from MilMap to Google Maps

MilMap → export as KML → import into Google My Maps via "Import".

When do you use this integration?

Importing routes shared by others via Google My Maps

Converting road routes (Google Maps knows the roads) to military route formats

Importing Google Maps coordinates as starting points

Sharing briefing maps with people who do not have MilMap

Tips & tricks

Google Maps does not export standard navigation routes — only My Maps content

Choose KML over KMZ for the most compatible import into MilMap

Google Maps coordinates are in WGS84 — MilMap converts them automatically to MGRS
