FAQ

I have made an in app closure and it wasn't picked up by the bot how is that possible?

There are multiple possible causes.

  1. One of the rating or reliability values was too low for the closure to become visible (not on live map).
  2. The chosen duration was too short and due to the bot retrieval interval it was missed.
  3. The bot failed.
