Hello Simone,

To help us better understand the situation in which this bug occurs, could you please clarify the following points:

1. Are you trying to add a scan to a non-activated wayspot?
2. If so, could you please provide that wayspot’s coordinates and name?
3. Are you trying to upload a private scan? (meaning that no wayspot was selected before pressing ‘Scan.’)

Thank you!
