This Shortcut script automatically extracts in bulk the Saved Places .json data from Google data export and adds the places (with a prompt) in Apple Maps. Primarily intended for macOS rather than iOS.
Intended uses:
- You have a Google account with saved (or "starred") places on Google Maps that you'd like to export/import into Apple Maps
How to use:
- Navigate to https://takeout.google.com/
- Click "Deselect All" and create a takeout that only uses the "Maps (your places)" data selected
- Proceed with generating your Google Takeout request, wait for it to be processed and available for download
- Download and extract the file that you get from Google
- Open the Saved Places.json file with a text viewer of your choice (e.g. Sublim Text)
- Download this Shortcuts script: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/b70812c989a148d084b070ef4772988e
- Copy paste your locations' .json text instead of the sample in this Shortcut
- Follow the on-screen instructions to go through all your Google Maps saved places
