Bring your Google Maps saved places along.

Your saved list has a new home

Illustrated workflow

1. 1. Export your saved list as CSV
2. 2. Choose the CSV in Maptera
3. 3. Review and import the places

Need the export first? Open Google Takeout or follow Google’s download instructions. Select the relevant saved-list data rather than exporting your whole account.

1. 1.

   Get the saved-list CSV

   Export the Google Maps saved list you want to bring over as a .csv file and save it somewhere you can access on your phone. Google’s export options vary by list and interface. If you use Google Takeout, select your saved-list data, download the archive and extract it. Find the .csv for the list you want. Use that actual CSV, rather than a screenshot, a shared-list link or a renamed file.

2. 2.

   Choose the file in Maptera

   Open your profile settings and find Import from Google Maps. Choose the CSV or saved-list import option and select your downloaded .csv file. If your export is a ZIP archive, extract it first so you can select the CSV inside.

3. 3.

   Review before importing

   Review the places Maptera finds and complete the import into a new collection. CSV files contain place names and Google Maps links; Maptera uses those links to resolve locations. Check the imported pins before relying on them for a trip.

This is a file import, not a live sync with Google Maps. Later changes to your Google Maps list do not automatically update Maptera. Rows without a usable Google Maps place link may not import.
