Inspired by Google's move to remove @organicmaps from the Playstore without warning, I finally decided to move my > 3,000 Google Maps saved places to Organic Maps. To facilitate doing this for others' benefit, I made a quick webpage to convert your Google Maps GeoJSON data to a KMZ that renders well in Organic Maps.

@rudo FYI it was back on the Play Store the next day: https://organicmaps.app/news/2024-08-18/good-news-organic-maps-appeared-again-in-the-google-play-store/

Somewhat ironic that you convert a free and open format coming out of Google into a proprietary Google format to be imported into Organic Maps…
Is that necessary? Should we open an issue with #OrganicMaps so that GeoJSON can be imported?

Congratulations @organicmaps ! You know you're doing something right when Google considers you enough of a threat to start doing shady stuff to try and stop you!️
