A file of saved places can become notes, and the places a Base matched can
become a file. A Google My Maps export or a phone's saved-restaurants list
drew as a hundred circles owned by whichever note linked it, and that was the
end of them — not rows, no properties, nothing a filter or a formula could
reach. The way back out did not exist at all.Right-click a
.kml,.gpxor.geojsonand choose Import places as
notes…. The dialog says how many places the file holds and asks where they
go; each one becomes a note carrying its coordinate in your coordinate
property, named after the placemark, with the placemark's description as its
body. Nothing existing is overwritten — a name already taken gets a suffix —
and everything lands in the one folder you named, so deleting that folder
undoes the import.Right-click a Base map and choose Export places… for the other direction:
every place on that map as GPX waypoints, KML placemarks or CSV rows. Places
are named by the note's file name or by any property the Base displays, which
is what makes an export readable when your notes are named20250405162700.
The file is written into your vault at a path you confirm, and a path already
taken blocks the write rather than replacing what is there.Exported coordinates are the notes' own WGS-84 values, never the shifted
positions the markers were drawn at, so the same Base exported over Amap and
over OpenStreetMap gives identical files. A KML<description>and a GPX
<desc>are now read where they were previously discarded, and markup in one
arrives in the note as the text it renders as rather than as markup.
