Import and Export Your Map Data
WP Go Maps Pro makes it easy to bring your location data in from almost any format and get it back out whenever you need it. Import thousands of markers from a CSV, pull in KML files, connect to Google Sheets, and export everything with a few clicks.
Import From Any Format
Whether your data lives in a spreadsheet, a geographic file, or a Google Sheets document, WP Go Maps Pro can bring it in. The plugin supports seven different formats, so you can work with whatever you already have instead of converting files by hand.
- CSV files with full column mapping so every field lands in the right place
- JSON and GeoJSON for structured geographic data
- KML and GPX files from Google Earth, GPS devices, and mapping tools
- XML support for legacy and third party data sources
- Google Sheets via URL, no download required
- Import markers, polygons, polylines, circles, rectangles, and heatmaps
Batched and Scheduled Imports
Got a massive dataset? No problem. The importer processes large CSV files in batches so your server never chokes on a big upload. And if your data changes regularly, you can set up scheduled imports that pull from a URL automatically using WordPress Cron.
- Batched processing handles thousands of CSV rows without timeouts
- URL based importing lets you paste a link and the plugin fetches the data
- WP Cron scheduling keeps your map in sync with external data sources
- Address geocoding during KML import when coordinates are missing
- Developer hooks fire when an import finishes so you can trigger custom actions

Export Your Map Data
Export Everything
Need to back up your map data, move it to another site, or open it in another tool? WP Go Maps Pro lets you export all your map data in CSV, JSON, or KML format. You can export everything at once or pick specific data types like markers, polygons, or polylines.
- Export to CSV for spreadsheets and data analysis
- Export to JSON for developers and programmatic workflows
- Export to KML for Google Earth and other mapping applications
- Export markers, polygons, polylines, circles, rectangles, and heatmaps
- Export all data at once or choose specific types individually
Smart Column Mapping
Not every CSV file uses the same column names, and that is perfectly fine. The WP Go Maps column mapper lets you visually match each column in your file to the correct marker field. You can also map columns to custom fields and import category names directly.
Visual Column Mapper
Drag and drop your CSV columns onto the right marker fields. Sticky columns stay visible as you scroll.
Custom Field Import
Map any CSV column to a custom field on your markers, giving you full control over your data.
Category Import
Include a category column in your CSV and markers will be assigned to the right category by name.
Address Geocoding
Importing KML data without coordinates? The importer can geocode addresses to get the latitude and longitude.

Half a million websites rely on WP Go Maps. Here's what store owners, developers, and agencies are saying.
The plugin is excellent for customers to find our retailers... the pro version is worth the expense. They're quick to respond — Nick got back to me in less than 24 hours.
We started using WP Go Maps back in 2016... faithfully chugging along for six years. We recently got the updated version with assistance from Matthew and are now good-to-go! Thanks for a great plug-in!
WP Go Maps is so helpful! Matthew Lau walked me through each step to update settings in Google Maps and on the websites... I really appreciate his patience and persistence. I strongly recommend CodeCabin and their WP Go Map plugin.
I ran into a few issues... I reached out to support and got a quick, helpful reply from Dylan. He guided me step by step through the possible causes... everything is now working perfectly. Such committed and knowledgeable support behind an already excellent plugin. Highly recommended!

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about importing and exporting map data in WP Go Maps.
What file formats can I import from?
WP Go Maps Pro supports importing from CSV, JSON, KML, GeoJSON, GPX, and XML files. You can also import directly from a published Google Sheets URL without needing to download the file first.
Can I import large files with thousands of rows?
Yes. The CSV importer uses batched processing, which breaks your file into smaller chunks and imports them one at a time. This prevents server timeouts and memory issues, even with very large datasets.
How do scheduled imports work?
You can point the importer at a URL and set it to re-import on a schedule using WordPress Cron. This is useful when your data source updates regularly and you want your map to stay in sync automatically.
Can I import custom field values?
Yes. The CSV column mapper lets you assign any column in your file to a custom field on your markers. You can also include a category column and markers will be assigned to the correct category by name during import.
Can I import from Google Sheets?
Yes. WP Go Maps supports URL based importing. Just publish your Google Sheet, copy the URL, and paste it into the importer. The plugin will fetch the data directly from that link, so there is no need to export and upload a file manually.
What can I export, and in which formats?
You can export markers, polygons, polylines, circles, rectangles, and heatmaps. The available export formats are CSV, JSON, and KML. You can export all of your map data at once or pick specific data types to download individually.
