When the map needs to go somewhere else, My Maps exports it as KML or KMZ. Each layer becomes a folder, the colour and icon of every pin becomes a pair of styles, and the table of extra fields becomes ExtendedData.</p> <p>Then someone converts that to GeoJSON for a website, and the map comes out grey.</p>
