<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIf you have used Fusion Tables, you will need to update the code to use a new data base system. You might also consider third-party App Inventor-based development systems such as Appy Builder<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google has sent out an email advising Fusion Tables users that they will be discontinuing Fusion Tables – literally, the database service will go away on 3 December 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, there is not yet a great alternative database for App Inventor apps other than to switch to Appy Builder<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \nHello,\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google Fusion Tables<\/a>\u00a0 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, Google has developed several alternatives, providing deeper experiences in more specialized domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to continue focusing our efforts in these areas, we will be retiring Fusion Tables. We plan to turn down Fusion Tables and the\u00a0\u00a0 Fusion Tables API<\/a>\u00a0 on December 3, 2019. Embedded Fusion Tables visualizations \u2014 maps, charts, tables and cards \u2014 will also stop working that day. Maps using the \u00a0Fusion Tables Layer<\/a>\u00a0 in the Maps JavaScript API v3.37 will start to see errors in August 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some next steps to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn about alternative tools<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Several new Google tools have been developed over the years, and we encourage you to visit the \u00a0Help Center<\/a>\u00a0 to learn which ones fit your use-case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Teams at Google have developed internal tools that can create \u00a0 powerful map visualizations<\/a>. We are working to make some of these tools publicly available and will have more to share in the coming months\u2014sign up\u00a0\u00a0<\/a> \u00a0to stay in touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Download your data\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Filter by \u00a0\u201ctype:table\u201d<\/a>\u00a0 to pull up a list of your tables in Google Drive. Download data from an individual table by following \u00a0these instructions<\/a>. If you have a lot of tables, we will make it easy to download all your data in one step via \u00a0 Google Takeout\u00a0\u00a0<\/a> starting in March 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
