Is there an atproto-based maps app yet that can import all my Google maps favorites? Or... Best alternatives....?

Since I’ve been using @beaconbits.app a lot, I’d probably put some time into GMaps export & import into BB shaped records. I don’t actually know if @montoulieu.dev has open sourced and/or implemented ingestion of records not created through BB

No worries, wasn’t expecting you to hop to it! I can look at the export / import part just from the shape of the lexicon. Instagram would be cool too, which I have an archive of . Which is more visual unlike Gmap bookmarks. Points towards layers (& probably different apps, too)

All good! I’ve had a few people asking for different importers throughout the year, but here’s a short post on the shape bsky.app/profile/joeb...

@montoulieu.dev any documentation or advice on creating @beaconbits.app check-ins from an atmospheric ticket scan? 👀

Oh I see - you’re JUST using geo in the community lexicon. We should probably add osm too. In general there’s an atproto <> OSM updates that would be good to activate. For the GMaps bookmarks use case I’d want address stored in my PDS (denormalized in a good way). Lots of this is outside BB
