[FR] Import my places from Google Takeout

[Bardesss]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have hundreds of saved places in Google Maps that I'd like to visit someday. You can export them via Google Takeout (as JSON or CSV).

I'd love to import those into TRIP so I can use them as "places". Ideally, there would be an option to select/deselect which ones to import, since I probably don't want to bring them all over at once.

Hi 👋,

Just to be sure, did you follow the place import docs (https://itskovacs.github.io/trip/docs/map-tracker/places-import)? If so, could you pinpoint what's not working as expected?

[Bardesss]

Oh wow, I didn't see that. But when I tried to import my Google Takeout file, it says that JSON is not supported and TRIP expects CSV instead.

In your screenshot, you're exporting Maps.

If my memory is correct, it should be called saved or something similar

EDIT: from the docs

You can import Google Takeout (Saved), Google KMZ (MyMaps) or Google Maps links in batch

It's supposed to be the Saved selected in your Google takeout
