Step 1: get this error when trying to create new place
Step 2: Created new place on google earth, and created .kml file. It won’t upload here. I can view the polygons i made on other .kml viewers however…
Step 3: Help please!
iNat is more stringent with kml files than other places. If you post a link to the file (google drive, dropbox, etc.) we can take a look.

Thanks for responding. Does this link to the file in my one drive work for you?

I was able to access your kml file. Your ‘polygon’ is a series of separate lines/paths rather than a single true polygon. Looks like it was created in Google Earth(?) which I’m not familiar with so unfortunately cannot offer any help there, however @jwidness recently added an easy to follow tutorial for Google MyMaps. You could upload your kml file as a new layer and trace it following the tutorial instructions.

If you made this with Google Earth you need to use the Polygon tool, not the Path tool.
I corrected this file for you, here’s a link to the area as a polygon instead of lines, and saved as a KML.
Try this for making the place:
