Description
Parse Google Maps links to extract waypoints. Export to CSV or KML, preview on OpenStreetMap, and open in the full MapParser app. Parse any Google Maps directions link and extract all waypoints — right from your browser toolbar. This extension is the official companion to mapparser.travel-tracker.org, a free tool that bridges the gap between shared Google Maps routes and your personal Google My Maps. Paste any Google Maps link, extract waypoints with coordinates, and export them in seconds. ──────────────────────────────────────── FEATURES ──────────────────────────────────────── 🔗 INSTANT ROUTE PARSING Click the toolbar icon, paste a Google Maps directions link, and hit Parse. The extension resolves the link, extracts all waypoints with real place names and coordinates, and displays them instantly — no need to open a full browser tab. 📍 WAYPOINT DISPLAY All stops are shown in order with A, B, C… labels and latitude/longitude coordinates, so you can see exactly what's in the route at a glance. 📤 EXPORT OPTIONS Once a route is parsed, export your waypoints with one click: • CSV — optimized for the Google My Maps "Import" feature • KML — standard geospatial format for Google Earth and other GIS tools 🗺️ OPEN IN FULL APP Click the Map button to open the current route in the full MapParser web app for an interactive OpenStreetMap or Google Maps preview. ⭐ SAVED TRIPS Save any parsed route to your local trip list. Saved trips appear below the parser so you can reload them instantly without re-pasting the link. 🖱️ RIGHT-CLICK TO PARSE Right-click any Google Maps link on any webpage and select "Parse with MapParser" to open it in the full site. Works on selected text too — great for links shared in messages or documents. 🌐 ON-SITE ENHANCEMENTS While browsing mapparser.travel-tracker.org, a floating bookmark button appears so you can save the current route without leaving the page. A saved trips panel lets you quickly jump between your bookmarked routes. ──────────────────────────────────────── WHY INSTALL THIS EXTENSION? ──────────────────────────────────────── Google Maps lets you share directions links, but those links don't give you the raw waypoints. If you want to import a shared route into Google My Maps, Google Earth, or any other GIS tool, you first need to extract the stops. MapParser does that automatically. Perfect for: • Travelers importing shared road trip routes into Google My Maps • Tour guides and trip planners managing multi-stop itineraries • Hikers and cyclists importing routes into navigation apps • Anyone who receives a Google Maps link and wants the data behind it ──────────────────────────────────────── PRIVACY ──────────────────────────────────────── This extension does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. Saved trips are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's built-in storage API and never leave your device. URL parsing is performed server-side by mapparser.travel-tracker.org only when you explicitly click Parse. ──────────────────────────────────────── ABOUT THE WEBSITE ──────────────────────────────────────── mapparser.travel-tracker.org is a free, modern web and mobile app featuring: • Instant Google Maps link resolution and waypoint extraction • Interactive route preview on OpenStreetMap and Google Maps • CSV and KML export for Google My Maps and Google Earth • Save and manage trips with a Google or Apple account • Available as an iOS and Android app Visit the full site for the complete interactive experience.
