Export the NOTAM Globe to KMZ or Shapefile

The NOTAM globe on your dashboard now has an Export button. One click gives you every shape currently presented on the globe as a file you can open in Google Earth or load into your GIS stack.

Two formats

• KMZ: opens directly in Google Earth. Shapes keep the same colors you see on the globe, organized into folders: NOTAM Map Elements, Affected Runways & Taxiways, and FIR Boundaries.
• Shapefile: standard WGS84 coordinates, ready for QGIS, ArcGIS, or any flight-planning tool that speaks shapefile.

What's in the export

Exactly what the globe is showing, nothing more and nothing less:

• NOTAM map element geometry: restricted areas, danger areas, obstacle points, route segments
• Affected runway and taxiway shapes from Affected Elements V2
• FIR boundary polygons

Each shape carries its operational context as attributes: NOTAM number, effect, description, AI interpretation, vertical limits, and the raw ICAO NOTAM message. In Google Earth, clicking a shape shows the full details; in GIS tools, they're regular attribute columns you can filter and label by.

Center-point markers, the pins we drop at an airport or FIR midpoint when there is no real geometry to draw, are deliberately left out. Exports contain real shapes only.

The map element and affected element toggles are respected too: hide a layer on the globe, and it stays out of the file. Files are named after your dashboard with a UTC timestamp, so UK Ops becomes uk-ops-20260610-1432z.kmz.

Why it matters

NOTAM geometry usually lives and dies inside whichever tool drew it. If your operation already runs on GIS for overlay analysis, route deconfliction, or briefing packs built in Google Earth, you shouldn't have to re-digitize a danger area by hand from coordinates in a NOTAM. Now the shapes your dashboard already computed travel with you.
