Can anybody answer if it is possible to transfer all our saved spots or pins from Google maps on to the ExploreOz app map?.
We have about 300 saved as Favourites or Want to go pins so don't want to do them one at a time.

Hello
I am not a EOTraveller user but from what I have read you should be able to import GPX format files into the app. So your first step is to convert the Google POI files - this may or may not take a couple of steps e.g. save as kml/kmx and then use another program to convert them to GPX (I don't know off the top of my head if you can export data out of Google Earth/Maps as GPX but there are (free and not free) programs that can convert kml/kmx to gpx)
Cheers
Greg

Ok , if I get time I can post a few instructions for creating GPX , but cant help with EO Traveller side of things. Maybe someone else can?
By the way, when you refer to Google Maps - Do you mean Google Earth?

Maybe ask Michelle. Send a Help desk request via the Traveller app.
