I am attempting to create a new place manually. Uploading a kml file. Re-directs me back to [https://www.inaturalist.org/places](https://www.inaturalist.org/places) with a 404 not found “Sorry that doesn’t exist” message. ---

Can you please email the KML to [help@inaturalist.org](mailto:help@inaturalist.org)? And when exactly do you get the 404 - when you upload the file, or save the place? ---

Exactly the same issue is happening via iNat NZ. Attempting to create a new place via kml manual upload, choose save place, then an error screen not recognising that place. image|690x388 ---

We have the same problem in Taiwan too. While attempt to create a place either by draw polygon or upload kml. Then the error shows it did not recognize the place. thanks! ---

It’s really difficult to investigate the issue without specific details. Please send KML files to [help@inaturalist.org](mailto:help@inaturalist.org), as well as any relevant screenshots, browser details, and a detailed description of what you’re experiencing. ---

I tried to import the same KML and it works! It’s weird. If I encountered the same situation, I’ll report with reproducible details. Thanks! ---
