    I have a ton of pinned map points for both my work and travel all over the world from the last decade or so… does anyone know of a way to export these from google in a format that will easily plug into openmaps or some other app? There are thousands and manually doing this is not really an option…

      I don’t know about being easy to plug in, but Google Takeout lets you request an order of all data they have tied to your account across all services, in compliance with EU rules.

        I’m not sure what the google maps export looks like, but no matter how it’s formatted I’m sure that a simple Python script will be able to transfer the map markers over to openmaps. I’ll look into making this if it doesn’t already exist on GitHub. I’d like to transfer my stuff over too.
