Ability for new (and old) users who want to migrate their Google Timelines into Arc App would be fantastic.
This!!! I’d love to see all the data I’ve collected through the years in one app!
The problem with Google Location history is that it does not support any useful export data. I’ve tried the same thing and the only thing you can get using ‘Google Checkout’ is location history with all places visited without any timestamps and corrections made on web :<
I just did a quick look at some of my exports and you are absolutely correct. No timestamps or elevation data which is unbelievable. Typical of Google I guess.
You can export your timelines per day which I know is time consuming but ARC can assign the KML file based on filenames?
For example if you export a day and name it 2019-04-24.kml then ARC imports that data for this date only. From there we can manually assign locations. Its a bit tedious and again, time consuming but its location history that a lot of people would love to migrate over.
Some food for though I guess :-)
Importing KML is definitely a potential option. That’s something that I’m fairly sure I’ll add support for eventually.
Looks like Google takeout exports now include time stamps, Lat, Lng, address, location name as a bunch of extra other data which would make it perfect for imports.
Any update on this? This will make be move from google maps tracking to Arc
No update yet! This hasn’t been discussed much/at all in the past few years.
I recommend mentioning it on the support forum (https://support.bigpaua.com) when I post the next poll for what to focus on for the next release. I tend to select poll options for those based on what’s most highly voted here on Changemap but also from what’s been recently discussed on the support forum.
