Shareable map in Google Drive file
A map anyone can open, coloured by a column, with GeoJSON and KML downloads. Ask your AI in plain English: it reads a Google Drive file, InstaMaps does the location work, and the results land in a Google Drive file.

Using the rows in this CSV or Excel file in my Google Drive: <link to the file>, make a map of these places coloured by their Status column, with the names on the map, and save the results to my Google Drive as a KML file called "Map".
Replace the parts in <angle brackets>.What comes back
- A link to the map that anyone can open
- GeoJSON and KML files for GIS tools and Google Earth
- Anything that can't be placed or answered comes back with the reason. Nothing is dropped.

Every plan, including Free. On Free, InstaMaps uses your one custom connector; Google Drive, Gmail and Google Calendar are directory connectors and don't count against it.
- In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, and choose "Add custom connector".
- Name it InstaMaps and paste https://get-instamaps.com/mcp. Click Add.
- Click Connect and continue with Google. You land back in Claude, ready to ask.
- Add the Google Drive, Gmail or Google Calendar connector from the same Connectors page when the chain uses them.
- Paste the prompt above.
Before you start
Reading a Google Drive fileShare the file with InstaMaps, or set it to "anyone with the link can view". InstaMaps reads it straight from Drive.
Writing to a Google Drive fileYour AI tool's Google Drive connector saves the file.
Good to know
- Up to 2,500 pins a map. Change it later by asking: the link stays the same.
- The connector is free: 5,000 tool calls a day per person, and a whole sheet read by link counts as one call.
- Rather do it without an AI? Use the free tool on our site.
