Questions
What happens to the folders and styles in my KML?
GPX has no folders, colours or icons, so those are left out. Every line becomes a track and every pin becomes a waypoint, with their names and descriptions.
What about areas (polygons)?
GPX can't hold areas, so each one is saved as a track around its edge, and you'll see a note saying so.
My file from My Maps says it has no route data. Why?
It was downloaded with “Keep data up to date with network link KML” ticked, so it only contains a link to the map online. Download it again with that box unticked.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so your file never leaves your device. Nothing is sent to a server or stored.
