Step-by-Step Guide

1

Go to Google Takeout

Visit takeout.google.com and sign in with your Google account. This is Google's official tool for exporting your data.

Tip: Make sure you're signed into the same Google account where you saved your places.
Open Google Takeout
2

Select only "Saved"

Click "Deselect all" at the top of the page to uncheck everything. Then scroll down and find "Saved" (it's alphabetically sorted) and check only that box.

Tip: This makes the export faster since you're only downloading your saved places, not all your Google data.
3

Create and download your export

Click "Next step" at the bottom. Choose "Send download link via email" and click "Create export". Wait for the email (usually 1-5 minutes), then download the ZIP file.

Tip: The export might take a few minutes to prepare. You'll receive an email when it's ready.
4

Find your file

Extract the downloaded ZIP file. Navigate to the "Saved" folder inside. Look for either your list's CSV file (named after your list) or "Saved Places.json" for all starred places.

Tip: Custom lists are in CSV format. The general "Saved Places" are in JSON format.
5

Upload to EzyRoute

Go back to the creator application and drag-and-drop your file into the upload area. We'll automatically parse all your places.

Tip: We support .json, .csv, and .geojson files up to 5MB.

Common Questions

I don't see my list in the export

Make sure you've saved the list in Google Maps before exporting. Only lists that exist in your "Saved" section will appear in the export.

The export is taking too long

Google Takeout can sometimes take up to 24 hours for large exports. If you only selected "Saved", it should be ready within minutes. Try refreshing your email.

My file says 0 places found

Make sure you're uploading the correct file. The file should be from the "Saved" folder in your export, not the root of the ZIP file.

Can I use a shared Google Maps link instead?

Currently, we only support file uploads from Google Takeout. This ensures we get complete data with coordinates for all your places.
