MobileSitemapMaker 1.0

You need a separate mobile sitemap only if your website URLs change when being viewed on mobile devices. The XML syntax in MobileSitemapMaker 1.0 follows the guidelines found on this Google Search Console help page. If your existing mobile sitemap's syntax isn't the same as that, Google will just ignore it.

With that said, this is not merely a mobile version of XMLSitemapMaker 2.2. You should use XMLSitemapMaker 2.2 when creating standard Google sitemaps for websites that are built with mobile responsive design. Website URLs aren't changed when a mobile responsive website is being viewed on mobile devices.

However, the length of time for MobileSitemapMaker to finish creating your mobile sitemap will totally depend on your computer system and the filesize of your text file.

How to Save a List of All Your Website URLs Into a Text File

Xenu's Link Sleuth Method

Xenu's Link Sleuth is a tool meant for checking broken links on your website. It can crawl your entire site and find all its links. When it has completed its crawl, you can let it create a report. From that report, find "List of valid URLs you can submit to a search engine:", copy all links listed under it, and paste them onto a spreadsheet such as Microsoft EXCEL or LibreOffice Calc. You will most likely find URLs that you would want to exclude. Simply filter your list to get only URLs that begin with your website's mobile URLs, examples: http://www.example.com/mobile, http://mobile.example.com.
