mdob07 851 Posted December 11, 2018 I received the below email today about Google shutting down its Fusion Tables tool. I know many of us have and still use fusion tables for our market maps here on S4GRU. Looks like we've got a year to migrate to a new platform.

S4GRU 56,693 Posted December 11, 2018 Yeah, I got it too. Bummed. But they mention they have other products coming online soon. Hopefully equal or better. Robert Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

radem 414 Posted December 11, 2018 I got that email as well. Now is a good time to remind everyone to download your fusion tables to .CSV files on your desktop/laptop so that you have a backup of your data. You should do this at least monthly if any of your tables have changed since the last backup. I am sure whatever they come up with will have the ability to upload data from .CSV files. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should do this at least monthly if any of your tables have changed since the last backup. I am sure whatever they come up with will have the ability to upload data from .CSV files.Most of us using fusion tables feed it from a Google Sheet. Every update we delete all data and re-import it. It was a great way to have multiple maps/layers in a single "file". I'm not aware of a replacement from Google yet unfortunately...They've been putting a lot of their Maps related products behind a paywall. I'm guessing whatever they get to replace it will get a certain number of accesses or uses per month, then a fee after that.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I don't think any of them allow you to make custom maps do they?Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
