Notion Map View Alternative
Beyond Notion's built-in Map View: unlimited pins, public sharing, embedding, and exports to KML, GPX, GeoJSON, and CSV — all from the same Notion database
Free • No credit card required • Updated
Notion's native Map View is a database layout that plots rows with a Place property onto an interactive map inside Notion. It is convenient for quick visualisation, but it caps every map at 100 items, restricts filtering and sorting to the place's name or address text, cannot be shared publicly without a Notion login, and provides no way to export the underlying coordinates to any file format.
NotionToMaps reads the same Notion database through OAuth and turns it into a public map page with unlimited pins, live KML/GPX/GeoJSON/CSV URLs, and embeddable code for any website. Edits in Notion flow through automatically, so the Place property you already maintain becomes a shareable map plus a portable dataset that other tools can subscribe to — without trading away the Notion workflow.

Maximum pins shown at one time in Notion's native Map View; the help docs suggest "narrowing down your list using filters, or splitting items across additional views" when you exceed the cap

About Notion Map View Alternative
Notion Map View is a database layout that displays rows with a Place property as pins on an interactive map inside the Notion app. It is meant for quick in-Notion visualisation, not for publishing, sharing, or exporting. The view caps at 100 pins per map, limits filtering and sorting to name/address text only, requires a Notion account to view, and offers no export to KML, GPX, GeoJSON, or CSV.

Use Cases
What You Can Do
Maps With More Than 100 Places
Travel guides, restaurant trackers, sales territories, and field-research databases routinely exceed 100 rows. NotionToMaps shows every pin without the silent truncation.
Public Sharing Without Notion Logins
Send a single URL to friends, clients, or customers and they see the map instantly — no Notion account, no workspace invite, no friction.
Filtering by Any Property
Filter pins by tag, status, date, rating, or any other database property instead of being stuck with name/address text search.
Embedding on Websites and Blogs
Drop an interactive map into a Webflow site, Ghost blog, Notion-powered landing page, or any HTML page with a single embed snippet.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Notion Map View only show 100 pins?
Notion's help documentation explicitly states: "Up to 100 items can be shown in map view at one time." If your database has more than 100 rows, the extra pins simply do not appear, and Notion suggests narrowing the list with filters or splitting it across multiple views. NotionToMaps removes the cap entirely and renders every pin on a single public map.
Can I share my Notion Map View publicly without a Notion login?
No. Notion Map View lives inside the Notion workspace, so anyone who opens the link needs a Notion account and access to the page. NotionToMaps generates a public URL that anyone can open in any browser — no account, no invite, no Notion required.
Can I export my Notion Map View as KML, GPX, GeoJSON, or CSV?
Notion Map View has no export option for the underlying coordinates — the pins live only inside Notion. NotionToMaps reads the same Place property and produces KML for Google Earth, GPX for Garmin and other GPS devices, GeoJSON for web mapping, and CSV for spreadsheets and BI tools, all from one click.
Can I filter Notion Map View by tags or other database properties?
Not really. Notion Map View only supports filtering and sorting by the place's name or address text, per the official help docs. NotionToMaps works on top of the full Notion database, so any property — tags, status, rating, date — can be used to filter the map (filtering UI on the public map is on the roadmap; exports already support it).
Will my Notion Map View still work alongside NotionToMaps?
Yes. NotionToMaps reads from the same Notion database via OAuth and does not modify your data, so the native Map View inside Notion keeps working exactly as before. You get the in-Notion view for quick edits plus a public, unlimited map for sharing and exporting.
Do I need to rebuild my database to use NotionToMaps?
No. If your database already has a Place property (the same one Notion Map View uses), NotionToMaps reads it as-is. There is no schema change, no re-import, and no duplicate data — one Notion database powers both the native Map View and your public NotionToMaps page.
