# Export Trip Maps Kml

`POST /trips/{trip_id}/maps-kml`

Build the whole trip as a KML file for import into Google My Maps.

Google has no write API for a user's saved list/My Map, so the paid
"Export to Google Maps" feature returns a .kml the client downloads and the
user imports. Gating and the KML build happen in this one call, so a free
user can't bypass the paywall — there's nothing client-side to forge.
