A spot is a place you want to come back to. It gets a pin on your map, its own forecast and a list of the catches you logged there. Your spots are private: other users do not see them.

## Save a spot where you are

1. On the **Map** tab, tap **+** in the bottom right corner.
2. Tap **Add spot**. The app finds your position and puts a red pin there.
3. If the pin is not exactly right, drag the map under it. Then tap **Use this location**.
4. Type a name in **Spot name**. A name is required.
5. Optional: tap the round icon button in the name field to choose an icon and a colour, and write notes (up to 600 characters).
6. Tap **✓** in the top right corner.

The spot is saved and opens on the map.

## Save a spot at any other point

1. Touch and hold the point on the map. A red pin drops there.
2. Tap **New spot**.
3. Enter the name and tap **✓**.

You can also search for a place first and save it the same way: [Search for a place or a saved spot](https://help.blacklabr.com/hc/blacklabr/articles/search-the-map)

## Adjust the place before saving

In the **New spot** sheet, tap the **Location** row. Drag the map so the pin is where you want it and tap **Use this location**.

After a spot is saved its place cannot be moved: [Open, edit or delete a spot](https://help.blacklabr.com/hc/blacklabr/articles/open-edit-delete-a-spot)

## The icon

The icon is a shape and a colour. You see it on the spot's pin, in search results and in your Profile. If you do not choose one, the spot gets a fishing hook on blue. You can change it later.

## Good to know

- **✓ is grey until the spot has a name.**
- If you close the sheet after typing something, the app asks "Discard this location?" — choose **Keep editing** to go on.
- If the app cannot find your position, it says "Current location unavailable - starting from the map centre": drag the map to the right place yourself.
- Saving a spot works without a connection. It is synchronised when the phone is online again.
- A catch you log within about 50 metres of a spot is attached to that spot automatically.

## If it does not work

"Couldn't save this location. Try again." — tap **✓** once more. If it keeps happening, [contact support](https://help.blacklabr.com/hc/blacklabr/articles/contact-support).
