Keep the original and inspect the preview.
Treat the Polarsteps export as your source copy until you have checked the result. Mapsake reads supported records without changing the source service, then lets you decide which discovered places belong in your atlas.
Resolve duplicates before saving
If a place already exists from Photos or another import, review how Mapsake will merge supported evidence instead of assuming every source is a new visit.
Fill gaps without guessing
Add missing places manually or use another supported source. Mapsake does not invent a destination when the export lacks enough information to identify it.
Guide reviewed . Export menus and file formats can change; if the source steps differ, check Polarsteps's current account or privacy settings before continuing.
