How to do it
- Make sure your spreadsheet has a latitude and a longitude column (or easting and northing), then save it as .csv.
- Drop your CSV file into the box above — or click “choose a file” to pick it from your device.
- Click “Convert to KML”. DropMaps opens in a new tab with your file on the map, so you can check it looks right.
- The save options open by themselves, with KML highlighted. Click it and the file downloads straight away.
Questions
What should my columns be called?
Common names like lat / lon, latitude / longitude, x / y or easting / northing are picked up automatically. If yours are called something else, DropMaps asks you which columns to use.
Will it open in Google Earth?
Yes. The KML opens in Google Earth, Google My Maps and most GPS and mapping apps, and it is always saved in latitude and longitude, which is what those apps expect.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is opened right in your browser, on your own computer. Nothing is sent to us unless you choose to save the map to a DropMaps account.
Is it really free?
Yes. Opening, viewing, editing and exporting files is free, with no signup needed. An account is only needed if you want to save maps to the cloud or share them with a link.
