Did you come across the Mapotic platform and its features, and believe they could add value to your current mapping project? Migrating your Google map to the Mapotic platform can be done in a matter of minutes.
Pro tip💡It’s important to note that your Mapotic map’s structure needs to be prepared for the data you’ll be importing. Your map’s categories and attributes should align with your data. You can learn more about data preparation in our article about data imports.

Open the administration section of your map on Mapotic. Go to ‘Import/export’ -> ‘Import’ and click on ‘New import’. A form for importing files will open where you can upload your .KML (or .KMZ) file from Google My Maps.
