It seems that #Microsoft has decided to remove #WindowsMaps from the store on July 1st, 2025. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/deprecated-features-resources and there is no obvious way to export favorites and collections.
So I took a look and found that the information is stored in the App directory under %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsMaps_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\Collections in several SQLite database files in subdirectories, all called Collections.db.

But the most impressive features that Microsoft promised have been slow to arrive… after the company faced backlash over the potential privacy and security implications.

Microsoft is pulling the plug on the Windows Maps app. It'll be removed from the Microsoft Store in July, but first MS will push a final update "that makes it nonfunctional." Bing Maps on the web will continue to be available. https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-kills-windows-maps-app/ #Windows #Microsoft #WindowsMaps
