Google's Fusion Table Shuts down 3 December..what to do

[SteveJG]

Google's Fusion Table will no longer be available after 3 December 2019.  If you created an app that uses the tables, the app will no longer work after that date.

Here is what Google recommends you do to preserve your data 

One year ago, we announced the deprecation of Fusion Tables, and the upcoming shutdown on December 3, 2019. Before the service is turned off tomorrow, here are some recommended actions to take: Download your data with Google Takeout You can access your tables in Google Drive by filtering by “type:table”. Download data from a table by following these instructions, and then consider migrating that data to one of the tools listed below. If you created many tables over the years, we’ve made it easy to download all your data in one step with a new dedicated Fusion Tables option in Google Takeout. You can save the rows, metadata and geometries of any base tables that you own, and export this data in the following formats: JSON, CSV and KML. You’ll be able to download your table data via Google Takeout until March 3, 2020. After that, all Fusion Tables data will be permanently and irrevocably deleted. Migrate your maps with a new open source tool Try the Fusion Tables Archive Tool, a new open source tool to help you preserve existing maps generated with Fusion Tables. You will need to give the tool access to your Google Drive so that it can read your tables and write the archives (Google Sheets) used to generate maps. We’ve open sourced the export and visualization code. The export code will stop working tomorrow, when Fusion Tables shuts down. The visualizer will continue to be available for at least a year after this date. There are guides on how to deploy and host your own version of the tool in the GitHub repo. Learn more about the tool on Medium. Fusion Tables Layers in Google Maps JavaScript API The Fusion Tables Layer in the Maps JavaScript API is deprecated as of December 3, 2018. Note that this feature will be turned off tomorrow and will no longer be available. Version 3.37 of the Maps JavaScript API supports loading Fusion Tables overlays, but when the service is turned off tomorrow, the overlays will stop working. Explore these Google tools Fusion Tables was launched almost nine years ago as a research project in Google Labs, later evolving into an experimental product. For a long time, it was one of the few free tools for easily visualizing large datasets, especially on a map. Since then, several Google alternatives have been developed, providing deeper experiences in more specialized domains: BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Maps Platform, and Data Studio. We encourage you to explore these alternatives as you transition off Fusion Tables.

Sincerely, The Google Fusion Tables Team

Where you migrate your data store after saving your existing data is up to you.
