Google recently started an offer to switch to new version of Google Maps in beta test mode. As far as I understand now, one of the nicest features of My Places is not present in new Google Maps, showing a warning popup saying that the feature is not supported there and I've been switched to old Google Maps temporarily. This is bitter news. For example, I really find it really useful while planning my trips.
I have a few questions, but they are pretty related:
- Is this feature supposed to be removed in the nearest future from Google Maps?
- Or if I'm wrong for the removal, is there any work-around to use My Places in the new version?
- Should I backup My Places as soon as possible? (As far as I remember, as a KML file)?

I was able to import a "my places" map to mapsengine as of late August (maybe they didn't have the feature before).
