sync maps bookmarks to google saved maps?

Hi all,

Is it possible to sync or export your bookmarked maps on iPhone to your google maps account? I need to restore my phone and don't want to loose the 50 or so saved maps I have on my phone.

Thanks,

PC, Windows Vista, 64-bit

Any ideas folks? I need to restore tonight, and need to find a way to backup these maps. Is there a way to sync or export?

I'm up for a workaround if one exists.

Cheers,

I think that your Map bookmarks are included in the backup before you restore, but I'm not certain.

Just in case they are not (or you plan to restore as a new phone), you can select each bookmark, tap the blue disclosure arrow, and tap the "share location" button to email the bookmark to yourself. Then you can email the bookmark back to the phone after the restore, if needed. Tap the link in the email and the Map will open to that location.

According to this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 your Map bookmarks are included in your phone's backup, so that if you restore from backup, they will be restored.
