Summary

Free Google Maps Timeline Export to Excel

Export your trips and mileage from Google Maps Timeline to Excel for your mileage tax deduction. This Chrome extension enables generating mileage and time sheet reports / exports.

Attention: Your trips exported from Google Maps Timeline with any tool are not sufficient as an IRS-Proof mileage log - points out our Platinum sponsor, MileageWise in their blog post. MileageWise, on the other hand, is able to convert these exported trips into an IRS-Proof mileage log.

None of your location data goes through a server. Everything is processed locally in your browser to ensure your privacy.

As Chris noted on April 7, 2024. This was a GREAT tool, until Google changed timeline data storage. This tool now cannot access the data using a browser. FYI, you can still download the data using Google Takeout, but this extension cannot use that data. Hopefully the developer can allow it to use the downloaded timeline JSON.

This was an incredible tool until Google's recent Timeline update which migrated all Timeline data to user devices. Since there is no longer a Timeline web interface, this extension no longer has a cache to draw data from. I wonder if the developer of this extension would be able to develop an app which can draw Timeline data now stored on user devices. Alternatively, I wonder if they could modify this extension so that users can drag and drop a Timeline JSON file exported using Takeout. I would really love (and would be willing to pay) to regain access to my Timeline data in Excel format.

Someone is terrible about keeping mileage logs. I'm not going to say who. Anyway, I needed to find the dates we went to our rental house to do repairs so I could calculate our business mileage for taxes. This tool is perfect and let me search for the address and get a list of dates. I can now go to timeline and figure out which other stops (e.g., hardware store) on that date are related! This is so much better than clicking each date on the timeline! Love it!
