I have to say, being able to add all the places to a list accessible from Google Maps is really key since it's one of my main tools while on a trip. I'm curious though -- what got you to choose exporting to Google My Maps vs. a Google Maps saved places place list?<p>For Wanderlog (<a href="https://wanderlog.com" rel="nofollow">https://wanderlog.com</a>), we ended up exporting to Saved Places instead of Google My Maps. My Maps lets you do advanced things like create regions and polygons, but when using it on the Google Maps app, it seems strictly worse:<p>1. You have to explicitly turn on the My Maps layer, rather than the pins always showing, for it to show up on the app, and<p>2. When you tap on one of the My Maps pins, it doesn't show the underlying place's associated details (e.g., rating, etc.) which makes it a bit harder to go back to the source of the info.<p>It's definitely nicer to build on top of Saved Places, which also seems more actively maintained by Google. Did you have any reason in mind to use My Maps rather than the Saved Places?
The first paragraph from the readme is a better description:<p>> This tool filters Google Maps places based on an input query and exports them to a CSV file.
<a href="https://wanderlog.com" rel="nofollow">https://wanderlog.com</a> (formerly TravelChime - YC W19) is pretty great too. I used it over the summer to plan a family visit and it was very useful.
Neat project! If anyone's interested in more of a full-featured web app for travel planning, I've been working on developing <a href="https://www.naverator.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.naverator.com/</a>
Nice! Traveling can be overwhelming. This is another great tool folks can use to help prep for their trip [since it's a CLI your market will naturally be developer focused]. I built <a href="https://trrip.co" rel="nofollow">https://trrip.co</a> - much less about search and google maps, and much more about sorting itinerary in a chronological way. Both can coexist!
I got this error when running it :<p>File "fetch.py", line 25
place_raw = requests.get(f'<a href="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?placeid={place_id}&key={API_KEY}'" rel="nofollow">https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?plac...</a>)

I remember the time where you could plan your route on Google Maps and save it to your maps. Obviously they removed that feature circa 2012 because it was too useful.
I'd built out a similar tool that pulled in the Google Photos / Panoramio photos along a route / path, within a certain distance to find interesting things along your way.<p>It got nuked when Panoramio died - would be interested in Open-Sourcing it if anyone wanted to pick up the project..
Nice tool! Could also be used for data science ;)<p><a href="https://dokomaps.com" rel="nofollow">https://dokomaps.com</a> is a more human and user friendly alternative were locals create their own map, add comment and categories and share them.
Very cool! love the simplicity ...
