How to export 'you places' in Maps on Galaxy Note 4 to PC


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have quite a lot of saved places in 'your places' in Maps on my Note 4 .

I want to back these up 'somewhere'. Can anyone give me fairly detailed 'as to how' and any options. Google doesn't seem to want to be my friend ... thanks

They're already saved to your Google account, so there's little point in backing them up.

Thanks ... Yes I found by accident that if I type the first one or two letters on my PC when I have 'Maps' opened it finds my 'Labelled Places' US spelling I think.

It doesn't seem to give me a list of 'Labelled Places" though so I guess I need to make one ... or is there a list hidden away somewhere.

But if my android phone 'fails' is there a way to get all my 'dropped Pins' back from my Google account to a new android phone in the form that I have it now?

When you have google sync enabled on your phone, and your phone fails, as soon as you enter your gmail address and password on your new phone everything that carries the name Google will be restored already.

Thanks ... I just found that out ... I looked on my spare phone and all my points were there ...that's why I edited my last message.

Technology is wonderful ..... I'm just not up to it .... thanks guys.

Well, technology is wonderful, that is one way you can view it, but how about privacy?

When I open my FB on my PC i get a picture " people who you may know" from someone who I just phoned one time in my life, only a few hours earlier.

On another occasion a friend gives me a phone number from a Thai carpenter. I store the number in my phone contact list, without calling the guy. Within minutes I receive a message from Line that says. Carpenter has added you as friend.

Wonderful? Scary would be more applicable.

I only have a few people on my Facebook a/c and on my LINE a/c...... and on my phone (LINE) I get loads of pictures of young ladies sticking out their chests ... I don't mind that too much ... but Mrs Jas keeps asking me, who is that? I say no idea but it seems Glass Coating, whoever they are, gives them a lot of likes.
