My node K8DVF-DARA won't appear on the map
My node won't appear on the map no matter what I try. (K8DVF-DARA)

When I push the "Upload data to AREDN Servers" button, the node responds with "AREDN online map updated". But it never appears.
Hardware: Mikrotik RB-LHG-5HPND
Version 482-1f28582
I have a latitude and longitude entered. (39.925437, -83.898125).
Using the "Show Map" button shows a proper map with the correct location indicated.
I have searched the map for my node name. and don't find it (K8DVF-DARA)
I am not yet linked to any other node. (That plan is underway, it is an 11-mile link. These things take time)
I don't have a Tunnel Server or Tunnel Client installed.
Timezone is set to UTC using NTP server us.pool.ntp.org.
I have used the "Upload data" button numerous times over quite a few days with node reboots between tests. Some of the reboots were over 1-minute of power off.
I do not have "Allow others to use my WAN" turned on at the moment.  I have had it on.  I have security holes to patch before that is enabled.
I'm out of ideas, what do you think I did wrongly, or how can I further test connectivity?  It sure looks to have internet connectivity since the Upload data button returns happy data.

edit: FTR I updated my lat/log about 100 yards to the south using Google Map data.  New location is 39.92381, -83.89875

Good Morning, Dan:

Those settings look valid.
I don't know why you are not on the map.

I've set up a tunnel server for your tunnel client for a temporary link.
I'm away from home and don't have your email address.
I'll be on the Springfield repeater this AM with the Youngs Dairy bike tour.
I am assigned between Urbana and West Liberty.
Hmmm, maybe the Bellefontaine repeater will be better?
I have both on my mobile.

Hi Chuck,
Hi Chuck,

Well, I have to say, the idea was to not bother you with this rather trivial matter.  I'll probably wait until later, I don't have a radio that can talk very far yet.  Or maybe it's the skill set or antenna.  I am tuning a J-Pole today, or at least trying to so you might hear me. I am in no big rush, really I was just dotting my i's and crossing my t's so that when the other side of the antenna went up I am as prepared as I can be. Enjoy the beautiful weather today, some day I'll be out there with you!
Thanks !!

Can you go to the
Can you go to the Administration page on the node, and download the SupportData file and email it to me at k5dlq@arednmesh.org.
I'll take a look.

Solution Found!

My node did not appear on the map because I used a degree symbol ( ° ASCII 248) in the Node Description.  That is probably covered in the documentation, did I read it, well no, not a lot of it at least.  blush
