How do I import from Mapstr?

Export your places from Mapstr as a GeoJSON file, then import that file in Pin Drop under Data. It takes a couple of minutes. Photos do not come across, because the Mapstr export does not include them.

Export from Mapstr

1. Open the Mapstr app and navigate to 'settings'
2. Tap on 'export data'
3. Your data export will be sent to your registered email address for your account
4. Download the 'mapstr.geojson' file from the email

Import into Pin Drop

On the Pin Drop app, go to 'data' and then select 'import' in the 'more' tab and upload your GeoJSON file to add it to your pin collection. Sadly the export doesn't include images, so that can't be included in your import to Pin Drop.

Important: Don't import the CSV

Make sure you upload the GeoJSON file NOT the CSV. The CSV file will not have the correct (full) address, so won't import the data.

As things can sometimes change, if you find your import doesn't work, just let us know and we'll help you import your Mapstr data.
