Export Google My Maps data table to Excel in two steps

As I said, there is no direct method to export only the data table. As such, you can export Google My Maps data table to Excel in two steps as below.

1. Export Google My Map as KMZ or KML file
2. Convert KMZ or KML file to Microsoft Excel or CSV

Step 01: Export map to .KMZ/ .KML file

However, you can export your map/ layer to .kml or .kmz format. These .kml or .kmz files include all the details you have added to your map.

You can import this .kml file as an .xml table to Microsoft Excel. You have to put a big effort into cleaning the imported data to get the required data table. Instead, you can use some online tools to convert the XML file to your required format.

Step 02: Convert .KMZ/ .KML to Microsoft Excel

You can use online tools like MyGeodata Cloud or GPS Visualizer to convert “.KML” or “.KMZ” files to Microsoft Excel or “.CSV” file. You can upload the exported “.KMZ” or “.KML” file to these sites and convert to available file-formats, including MS Excel.
