Have a Google Maps route? Get every stop now

Open your route in Google Maps, copy the directions link, and paste it here — we'll open it in Takeout Tools and pull out every stop.

Google Maps lets you build a multi-stop route, but there's no way to get those stops out as a list. If you've planned a delivery run, a road trip, or a day of site visits and you want it in a spreadsheet, you're stuck retyping each stop — unless you let a tool read the link for you.

How to Export a Google Maps Route (3 Steps)

  1. Open your route in Google Maps — Use Directions and add your stops. When the full route is showing, copy the URL from your browser's address bar.
  2. Paste it above — Drop the link into the box and click Get my stops. We open it in Takeout Tools, which reads each stop with its name and coordinates, in route order.
  3. Export CSV or GeoJSON — Download a clean spreadsheet for planning, or GeoJSON to drop straight into a mapping tool.

What You Get

  • One row per stop — Origin, every intermediate waypoint, and the destination, in order
  • Names & place IDs — When the route uses named places, each stop keeps its name and Google place ID
  • Real coordinates — Latitude and longitude as numbers, plus a map link for every stop
  • Export-ready — Stops land in a table in Takeout Tools, ready to download as CSV, GeoJSON, and more

Routes vs. Saved Lists

This tool reads a single route — the stops on one trip. If what you actually have is a saved or shared list of places (with addresses, ratings, and the author's notes), that's a richer dataset — and Takeout Tools exports the whole list to Excel or CSV, names and addresses included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I export a Google Maps route to a spreadsheet?

Yes. Build a route in Google Maps with your stops, copy the URL from the address bar, and paste it above. We open it in Takeout Tools, which reads every stop into a row with its name and coordinates, ready to export as CSV or GeoJSON.

Does it capture all the stops, or just start and end?

Every waypoint you added — origin, all intermediate stops, and destination — in route order. The intermediate road points Google uses to draw the line between stops are left out, since they aren't places you chose.

Will I get the place names too, or only coordinates?

If your route uses named places (e.g. "Eiffel Tower"), you get the name, the coordinates, and Google's place ID for each stop. If the route was built from dropped pins, you get coordinates only — there are no names stored in that kind of link.

Does this work with a maps.app.goo.gl short link?

Yes. Paste a maps.app.goo.gl share link and Takeout Tools expands it to the full route automatically, then pulls out the stops. If a particular link can't be expanded, open it in Google Maps and copy the full URL from the address bar instead.

How does the export work?

Paste your route link and we open it in Takeout Tools, which reads the stops and lays them out in a table. From there you can download them as CSV, GeoJSON, and other formats — names and coordinates included.

What's the difference between this and extracting a saved list?

A route is the stops on a single trip. A saved/shared Google Maps list is a curated collection of places with addresses, ratings, and notes. For a full list, use Takeout Tools — it returns all of that, not just coordinates.
