Hello!
I am attempting to create a new ‘place’ for our community garden but it is giving me an error:
There were problems importing that place: Failed to import a boundary. Check for slivers, overlapping polygons, and other geometry issues., Place geometry can’t be blank
I have attempted to create the polygon in both Caltopo and Garmin Basecamp but neither seem to work.
Is there possibly a minimum size requirement?
I have opened the KML file in a text editor and manually edited it to be a perfect rectangle, but still no joy.
