Looking for software to display and edit the .json files for Google Map

TWO questions, really:
(1) Following Google's information included in Google's notification
that it is getting rid of Timeline on the Cloud, I downloaded my
previous Timeline from their Cloud servers to my cellphone (Android 14
UI 6.1).
I can see the more-or-less accurate timeline. But editing it is next to impossible.
I can answer Yes or No when asked to verify a location. That's the ONLY
thing which consistently works.
If I click the appropriate button to either Modify a Time or Add a
Visit, one of three things happens:
(A) Nothing whatsoever -- clicking the appropriate button does
absolutely nothing. The button doesn't even blink or anything to
indicate that it has been clicked
(B) Clicking the button LOOKS like it's working ... but then nothing
happens.
(C) I immediately get the ridiculously uninformative message "Something
Went Wrong." (I think this is the most frequent.)
And even if the timeline is correct and I don't need to make any
changes, the phone version does not offer the "Snap to" (roads,
sidewalks) which the online version used to offer.
Comments? Your own experiences? Workarounds?
MORE IMPORTANTLY:
(2) Suggestions for third-party software (Mac OS X) to display and edit
the Timeline .json files.
HOPEFULLY software which has its own excellent database of roads,
sidewalks, trails, and transportation lines (bus, train, airline).
Or which at least uses similar maps online
MUST HAVE "Snap to" for the various types of route listed above.
Thanks.
