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

Im working on some import options and a docs page for devs. Will try and get those out asap

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...

Shipped a geotagged-poems appview on my own coordinate shape before finding community.lexicon.location.geo — weighing a switch, since a private dialect probably helps nobody. One thing I'd wonder about: author-chosen precision, blurred before the write. https://geovibes-production.up.railway.app

Yes, there are a number of best practices around geo, including that the location should NEVER get sent to the server, but stay on device.
