After deleting the default category and adding new, the new ones arent showing up in the admin interface, but i can access them via the JS/Rest api

Hi Claus,

This is mostly a problem with the usability of the admin interface (which we are planning to improve). The way it currently works is the list of categories and the data table will show the geo data available in the current viewport of the map. Additionally, if a category does not have any points, it will not show up in the admin interface list.
You can add your own categories and geo points with metadata using the Import function. In the Geolocation screen select More > Import… Then make sure to use the “browse” button to locate a CSV file with the data (do not use file drag and drop - it does not work correctly in the latest version). The CSV file must have the following format:

latitude, longitude, “categoryname”, metadata-as-key=value"

for example:
-27.48333,153.01667,“geoservice_sample”,“city=SOUTH BRISBANE”
-37.814,144.96332,“geoservice_sample”,“city=MELBOURNE”

Hope this helps.
