Q:Is the Online Map Creator free?
Yes, drawing and exporting maps is 100% free with no account required.
Q:Does it upload my data to a server?
No, everything is rendered locally in your browser with no upload required.
Q:What formats can I export?
You can export your drawn features as KML, KMZ, or GeoJSON files.
Q:Can I import existing files?
Yes, you can import KML, KMZ, GeoJSON, and GPX files to edit on the map.
Q:How do I draw a polygon or area on the map?
Select the Polygon tool from the toolbar, then click on the map to place corner points. Double-click (or click the first point again) to close the shape. You can then name it and set a style.
Q:Can I draw a route or path?
Yes. Select the LineString/Path tool and click to add waypoints along your route. Double-click to finish. The result exports as a KML LineString.
Q:Is my data saved online?
No. Your map is only in your browser memory. Download the KML file before closing the tab to save your work permanently — there is no account or cloud storage.
Q:Can I upload an existing KML to edit it?
Yes. Upload your KML file and the existing features appear on the map for you to move, reshape, rename, or delete.
Q:What file size limits apply?
You can draw as many features as needed — there is no hard limit. The resulting KML download will be proportional to the number and complexity of your features.
