* I used [Google Takeout](https://takeout.google.com) to export all of my Saved Places

     

       
13
       
+
       
* It's an almost 1MB GeoJSON file which is 20K lines long

     

       
14
       
+
       
* There were ~200 or so which had a location / GMaps query string, but said "no location information available" and the coordinates set to 0,0; I manually went through and deleted all those entries

     

       
15
       
+
       
* Importing into [[Facilmap]] timed out with the full file

     

       
16
       
+
       
* I manually split it into ~3500 line files, and imported them all

     

       
17
       
+
       
* It does import! I have all my Starred (and I assume Want To Go, and Closed, and a bunch of public and private lists, which aren't labeled in the export) on the map

     

       
18
       
+
       
* But! They're all labeled as "Point", rather than including the name of the thing I have starred
