Notion Maps for Travel Planning
Transform your Notion travel planning into shareable maps and GPS-ready exports for your next adventure
Free • No credit card required • Updated
Travel planning is one of the most popular use cases for Notion. Travelers build itinerary databases with destinations, accommodations, restaurants, and points of interest, layering Place properties to capture exact coordinates. The problem: Notion shows a list, not a map, and there is no native way to take that data into Google Maps, Apple Maps, or offline navigation.
NotionToMaps turns any travel database into a shareable map and a live KML, GPX, GeoJSON, or CSV URL. Plan in Notion, then point Google My Maps at the URL for the family, save the GPX to a Garmin for the rental car, or share the public link with travel companions. Edit Notion and the same URLs serve fresh data — no re-exporting before the trip.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add places to my Notion travel database?
Add a Place property to your database. When editing a row, click the Place field and search for a location. Notion will find it and store the coordinates automatically.
Can I share my travel map with friends?
Yes! Every map has a shareable URL. Send the link to travel companions so they can view your itinerary. They don't need a Notion account to view the map.
How do I use the map offline during my trip?
Export to GPX and import into an offline maps app like Maps.me, OsmAnd, or Gaia GPS. Download the region's offline maps in the app, and your waypoints will be available without internet.
Can I organize places by day or category?
Yes! Use Notion properties like "Day" or "Category" to organize your places. These properties appear in map popups when you click markers. For filtered exports, use Notion's database filters before connecting to NotionToMaps.
Will my map update if I change my Notion database?
Yes. The web map and every export URL (KML, GPX, GeoJSON, CSV) are live endpoints — tools that fetch them see the latest Notion data within 15 minutes. If you saved a file to a device, refresh the URL or re-fetch from your tool to pick up changes.
Can I embed the map in my travel blog?
Yes! Use the embed code to add an interactive map to any website or blog. Great for sharing trip reports with readers.
How do I export my itinerary to Google Maps?
Export to KML, then import into Google My Maps. You can also export to CSV and import that into Google My Maps by selecting the lat/lon columns.
Why use Notion instead of a spreadsheet for travel planning?
Notion combines the flexibility of spreadsheets with rich content - attach photos, link related pages, and use templates. NotionToMaps adds the missing piece: seeing your places geographically and exporting to GPS for offline navigation.
