For people who plan trips in Google Maps

You planned the trip in Google Maps.
Pinbook remembers it.

Turn your saved pins into a travel blog — track where you actually went, then share the recommendations worth passing on.

How it works

Pull the saved list you built while planning your trip out of Google Maps, using Google Takeout.

Drop the CSV into Pinbook. It finds each place on the map and groups them by city for you.

Mark the places you actually visited, rate them, keep your notes on the map — then share it.

Get your data from Google Maps

Google doesn't let apps read your saved places directly, so you export them yourself. It takes about two minutes.

1

Open Google Takeout

Go to takeout.google.com, signed in to the Google account with your saved places.
2

Select only "Saved"

Click Deselect all, then scroll down and check Saved — your Google Maps lists. Leave the format as CSV.

🔖

SavedCollections of saved links (images, places, web pages, etc.) from Google Search and Maps.

3

Create the export

Click Next step, keep the "email a download link" option, then Create export. It's usually ready in a few minutes.
4

Download and unzip

Open the emailed link, download the .zip, and unzip it. Inside a Saved folder you'll find one CSV per list, named after each list.
5

Upload the trip you want

Drop the CSV for that trip into Pinbook, on the right. That's it.

You can only export your own saved lists — sign in to the right Google account.
Pinbook reads the CSV file only. It never connects to your Google account.
Your export lists each place's name and Google Maps link, but not its coordinates — so Pinbook looks each one up, and you confirm any that don't match.
