Hi

_Sorry I removed my previous topic in the forum as I thought the issue was coming from me and a private VPS location I’ve added in the map, but at the end after some testing I still have the issue._

I’m trying to build a VPS experience (a navigation system between VPS points) based on the [Studio: map explorer](https://www.8thwall.com/8thwall/map-explorer) demo.

The problem is that, for some reason, the web page keeps refreshing itself. So I can’t work on the project.

I don’t see any errors in the web page logs that would indicate something is wrong with my code.

However, I did notice the following error related to [logs.8thwall.com](http://logs.8thwall.com) and some out of memory error:

I’ve also recorded a video showing a significant FPS drop when the map loads, as well as the page refreshing itself. You can view it here: [video](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1daZaRLEWxWqVo5V9cakricZqYoAxy6Gv/view?usp=sharing)

The page refresh happens automatically, I’m not triggering it in any way.

Is there a way for me to share my project with support or do you have any solution/ideas to fix this issue?

I’m using an iPhone 14 Pro with Safari on iOS 18.3.1 (22D72).

I also noticed this problem is only happening when the “Map” space is active, when I load another space like a classic AR scene with a box I don’t have this issue.

Thank you for your help!

Edit: Here a [link](https://forum.8thwall.com/t/issues-crashing-map-explorer-demo-and-map-issues/4826/6) of a screenshot I shared of errors I get when using the Niantic map in studio with an iPhone 13 Pro, ios 17.5.1

Edit 2: I have a new issue with this map, I’ve added a private VPS location, then I removed it for testing, now I’m trying to add it back again as it is no more present as a Map’s child but when I check this private loction in the GSB Map it tells me this point is “In my project” but it’s not. So I can’t add it back in my project. I tried to refresh the project page etc. but it is not working.

Hi! This looks like an issue with our Map Explorer project related to the Map Tile background worker. I’ll look into this further.
