Place disappears after adding it
I create a place using the crosshairs, as I’m doing it whilst I’m at home planning a trip.
Fill out the relevant details and hit the SAVE button.
The place briefly appears on the map with the mini menu - just like if I had tapped an existing place.
The mini menu then changes to “Loading…” and does nothing.
When I tap on “Loading…” or the place, it disappears.
Filters are turned off.
Doesn’t matter if I have it set to EO or Personal
places, doesn’t show up.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi there 2FN
My suggestion would be to contact the Help Desk ( bottom of page).
David and Michelle will respond quickly I'm sure.
Cheers
Jim

Yes, I did when creating a temporary waypoint to navigate to on an Android phone.
My workaround was to look it up in
Places - it had been saved, of course - and open it from there.
I have since created new
places and it hasn't happen again.
I doubt myself, though - I'm a bit out of practice. Finger trouble cannot be ruled out :-(
Cheers

Hi TFN
The only way I can replicate what you’re describing on my iPad is when I haven’t loaded the place type in
Places (in the menu).
Try loading the place type (it will turn blue) that you save it as, eg waypoint ,
camp etc in
places, and make sure
places is ticked in the menu.
Regards
TrevorDavid

Its a bit of a bugga when this happens as it is a slight time delay between your iPad and the Exploreoz server, this has happened to me when I am creating a trek with a lot of way points /
places and I am doing it quickly.
In checking to see if a "place" has been saved..hit the search icon (top right corner), tap "places" then tap "Recent" as this will show in a list the last place that has been "saved" by yourself. Tap on your saved place and it should revert you back to the map with your saved place ID shown in a split screen, then you can assign it to a folder etc...
