The formats you can import
MyFavsMap accepts several inputs: the GeoJSON/CSV file from Google Takeout, a shared Google Maps list link, or plain pasted text (one address per line). You're never stuck on a format.
Step by step: from Google Maps to your map
Export your places (see our export guide), open MyFavsMap, choose « Import », drop the file or paste the link/text. Places are geocoded and placed on the map in seconds.
Organise, filter and plan your itineraries
Once imported, sort your places by category (restaurants, culture, nature…), filter, then generate a proximity-optimised itinerary. Add notes and keep a travel journal by country.
Your data stays yours
Import happens in your own space: your lists are private by default and exportable anytime (GPX, KML). You keep full control, with no lock-in.
Frequently asked questions
Can I import without a file, just by copying text?
Yes. Paste a list of addresses (one per line) and MyFavsMap geocodes and places them on the map.
Are my imported places visible to others?
No, they're private by default. You decide whether to publish a list to the community.
Can I re-export my places afterwards?
Yes, as GPX and KML, to use them in other apps or a GPS device.
