FAQ

How do I import my Google Maps saved places to Apple Maps?

Export them with Google Takeout — tick Saved and Maps (your places) — then upload the .zip to GoToAppleMaps. Each place is looked up in Apple Maps, and you get an Apple Maps Guide link that opens on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

What success rate does Google Maps to Apple Maps conversion have?

Over the last 30 days, 67.5% of places matched automatically. Smaller lists do better — about 73% for lists under 50 places — and very large lists do worse, about 64% above 700 places. Unmatched places are listed so you can add them by hand. Live figures are on the stats page.

Can I transfer multiple Google Maps lists?

Yes, one list per upload. A Takeout zip converts the file with the most places; for each other list, unzip the zip and upload that list's CSV from the Saved folder. Each upload becomes its own Apple Maps Guide.

Is there a cost to transfer Google Maps to Apple Maps?

No. It's free and needs no account, for up to 1,500 places per file. For a bigger file, email dautovri@outlook.com.

Is my Google Maps data kept private during conversion?

Your file is uploaded over HTTPS and stored so your job link keeps working. It is never shared or sold, and it is kept until you ask us to delete it: email dautovri@outlook.com. Details are on the privacy page.
