Request for de-googling advice:

I have thousands, maybe 10,000, locations saved in google maps. Mostly these are informal camping sites, not things that can be found by a web search

Is there a way I can transfer these to a different, friendlier, map service?

Edit: Boosts welcome!

2nd edit:

Thank you so much everyone! I think I have plenty of answers now. And hopefully they are helping other people as well 💕💕💕

@NilaJones You could try the data export feature ("Google Takeout"), it takes a bit but it *should* include saved places like this.

Yes. For me the harder part is knowing which different mapping program I can upload it to, and how to do that

@NilaJones @elomatreb I've been playing with Comaps which uses OSM data (which is a thing you can upload to) and it looks pretty good. For my personal maps (with trails and secret camping spots) I use Caltopo, which accepts several different import formats. I've never tried exporting from Google though. Good luck!
