Bug description
The ability to import favorites from Google Takeout data was added in #338, but the original UI it used appears to have been removed in 64a87881291276180c4d04f803d64c9712a18ffe. I am unable to find any way in the current UI to import favorites. The only current visible "import" feature is the device import which does not apparently support JSON files, the file picker it shows says:
Import devices from gpx (Nextcloud Maps) or kml/kmz (Google Timeline) file
Related: #1205
Favorites sidebar context menu:
Favorites category context menu:
Steps to reproduce
- Install Nextcloud Maps
- Attempt to import saved locations from Google Maps from a JSON file downloaded through Google Takeout
- Find no usable import option
Expected behavior
Present user with option to import JSON files from Google Takeout somewhere in the UI

Research direction
Compare the UI removed in commit 64a87881291276180c4d04f803d64c9712a18ffe with the Google Takeout import added in #338, focusing on the Favorites sidebar and category context menus. Review related issue #1205 and verify the result in the Maps UI; done means users can find an option to import Google Takeout JSON favorites.
