Whoops...typo...too late to edit original post....I meant 21 "Jan" 2025; not 21 Jun 2025....

Sometimes the loudest and pitch of a sound greatly depends on your location in relation to the source of the sound. You can be in one spot and a sound is loud/high or low pitch and move just few meters and the sound may very significantly change. Heck, just last week when my neighbor directly across from me was doing his annual cleaning of his driveway with his high pressure washer that sound from the high pitch sounding washer would come across the soi "between" my house and my adjacent neighbor's house and then bounced off the fence wall behind my house making it sound like my home water pump close to my back wall was constantly running when in fact the water pump was not running. It was really strange how that high pressure washer's sound was being amplified a little as it was focused between my house and my adjacent neighbor's house and then being bounced on my back fence wall....made the sound louder and also a higher pitch than if I was standing in the soi much closer to the actual source of the sound--the pressure washer. A similar thing happens occasionally when some one a couple hundred meters away plays a music source loudly with a LOT of low frequency bass which most Thai just love...that is a lot of low frequency bass that can rattle your bones. When that occurs just me moving a 5 or so meters to the left or right can make a big difference in how loud the sound is.. I expect it's because of where the echoes of the sound reinforce or suppress each other depend on where the echoes happen to meet as those echoes bounce away.

Even no whining when the inside of the cabin is hot? Like it has been setting in the sun making the cabin fell like inside a oven.....or it's just simply hot weather even in the shade (not to be confused with the cool weather we have right now). And what temp do you keep you A/C set to? If like something around 26C (which some of my Thai in-laws prefer) then an electric A/C compressor will rarely have to work hard..."spin fast" which can cause a whining noise since scroll type compressors (vs a piston type compressor) can have a whine when working hard/spinning fast. But set the A/C to something like 22C or lower the electric compressor will have to do more work/spin faster "if" the cabin temp is hot.

Yea...I would agree as I saw that in the BOI announcements that implied to me at least at a minimum a part of the Chamchuri Sq Immigration Office should be collocated with the BOI one stop center. It sure wouldn't be too convenient if a person really had to bounce between two building kilometers apart to accomplish certain tasks/get certain paperwork related to a person's BOI related visa. But hey, the Chaeng Wattana (CW) Immigration split its operations between buildings kilometers apart for a year or two years but I realized that was driven by the COVID pandemic. I guess all of CW Immigration are back into just the main CW building now, but don't really know or track such after I got my LTR visa issued 2 years ago and since then have only used the Chamchuri Sq Immigration Office to do my 1 year address reporting, getting Residence Certificates to renew my drivers license, buy a car, etc.

I'm not sure if @JohnnyBD is saying/implying is saying in his quoted post below there has a been a change in LTR WP "income requirements regarding cap gains" based on the very recent HQ BOI announcement about the hopefully soon to occur and Cabinet approved changes to the WGC, WFTP, and Dependent LTR visa categories. But where JohnnyBD provides a current snapshot/quote from the BOI LTR website regarding the "red text" talking cap gains for the WP category is really no different than what has been on the BOI LTR website for a long time....at least going back to mid 2024 where it also mentioned cag gains in red text. The 1st snapshot below taken from the BOI LTR website 31 May 2024 talks what kind of income is acceptable to meet the LTR WP visa category....it shows "cap gains" even back then. However, since then the red text about cap gains was actually toughened-up a little to specify it must the "realized" cap gains vs just saying cap gains which a person could say that means even "unrealized" cap gains (a.k.a., gains on paper only which are unrealized...gains a person has never really realized by selling to actually realize the cap gains...gains that typically become taxable....get the gains sent to his bank account or maybe immediately reinvested like a lot of people do with mutual funds each year). See 1st snapshot at bottom. Additionally, when looking at the WP Required Docs "Income Evidence" checklist currently posted on the BOI LTR website as of 21 Jun 2025 it still the same checklist from 24 May 2024. See 2nd snapshot for more details. Summary: I don't see any changes to the WP category as maybe JohnnyDB is implying. @JohnnyBD, if you were not implying such then please accept my apologies. Cheers. 1st Snapshot...a snapshot from the BOI LTR website "31 May 2024" talking what kind of income is acceptable to meet the LTR WP visa category....it shows "cap gains" even then. However, since then the red text about cap gains was actually toughened- up a little to specify it must the "realized" cap gains vs just saying cap gains which a person could say means even "unrealized" cap gains (a.k.a., gains on paper only...a person has never been realized by selling to actually realize the cap gains). 2nd Snapshot from BOI LTR website 21 Jan 2025 regarding evidence of income for a LTR WP visa. This is a snapshot of the BOI LTR document dated 24 May 2024 which is still currently used as of 21 June 2025. Heck, it don't even mention cap gains, realized or unrealized....but actually "realize cap gains are accepted.

As FYI, the BOI LTR Office currently on the 18th floor of the Chamchuri Square building will be part of below larger BOI organizational relocation to the 6th & 7th floors of the One Bangkok Building on Rama IV which is a couple of kilometers away. I asked a BOI LTR rep about this and the answer was Yes, they are part of the move but have not announced it on the BOI LTR website yet...it's just on the Headquarters BOI website. Below snapshot/weblink is from the Headquarters BOI website and not the BOI LTR website. But I'm not sure about the Chamchuri Square Immigration Office which is currently on the same floor as the current BOI LTR office....sometimes people refer to the Chamchuri Sq Immigration Office as the BOI Immigration Office. The Chamchuri Sq immigration as far as I know is organizationally aligned under the Immigration Dept and not BOI. Time will tell as more details come out on the relocation/move. https://www.boi.go.th/en/index/

See the BOI Press Release https://www.boi.go.th/index.php?page=press_releases_detail&topic_id=136393&_module=news&from_page=press_releases2 The Cabinet has given the green light to BOI to adjust the special visa criteria, LTR Visa, to accelerate the attraction of high-quality personnel and world-class investors to Thailand, and to unlock and facilitate foreigners who want to work and reside in the long term, elevating Thailand to the global talent hub after more than 6,000 foreigners, led by European, American, and Japanese groups, are interested in applying for LTR Visa continuously. Mr. Narit Therdsteerasakdi, Secretary-General of the Board of Investment (BOI), revealed that on January 13, 2025, the Cabinet approved the amendment of the criteria for the special visa, Long-Term Resident Visa or LTR Visa, which is one of the country's important measures to attract high-potential foreign personnel to Thailand. This is in line with the global investment relocation trend due to geopolitical issues that are expected to intensify, coupled with more open business opportunities in various regions, resulting in the relocation of foreign personnel for work and long-term residence. Thailand is considered one of the important destinations for investors and high-quality personnel from around the world. Attracting personnel in this group is an opportunity to support the growth of the business sector, generate foreign spending money to be distributed to various sectors, transfer technology and knowledge, increase the country's competitiveness, and elevate Thailand to a global talent hub. LTR Visa is a special visa that the government has assigned the BOI to be the main responsible for, in order to attract 4 groups of high-potential foreigners to Thailand : 1) Highly Skilled Professionals 2) Work-from-Thailand Professionals 3) Wealthy Global Citizens 4) Wealthy Pensioners and their dependents. They will be able to stay in Thailand for 10 years with no limit on the number of times they can enter and leave the country. They will also be allowed to work, with a personal income tax rate reduced to 17 percent for highly skilled professionals, and they will also be allowed to report to the Immigration Bureau from the usual 90 days to once a year. This amendment to the LTR Visa criteria is the result of discussions with the Foreign Chamber of Commerce and has been approved by the Committee on Economic and Investment Stimulus Measures by Attracting High-Potential Foreigners to Thailand (NCSOM), chaired by Mr. Pichai Chunhavajira, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, before being presented to the Cabinet. The main points are as follows: 1) Expand the scope of target industries for groups of skilled professionals to include lecturers in higher education and vocational institutions in various fields to help improve the capabilities of Thai personnel. 2) Eliminate requirements on work experience for groups of highly skilled professionals and experts working from Thailand for employers abroad to reduce duplication with other qualifications that already well reflect the knowledge, skills and potential of both types of foreigners, such as minimum income, educational qualifications, work in target industries, and stability of employers abroad, in order to increase the attractiveness of the measure and be able to reach a larger group of talent. 3) Easing the income requirement for overseas employers of experts working in Thailand from the original minimum of US$150 million to US$50 million over the past three years, and including subsidiaries in which a parent company with a minimum income of not less than US$50 million holds all of its shares, in order to access highly skilled employees from both large multinationals and growing companies, most of whom are experts in digital technology, which Thailand still lacks. 4) Abolish the income requirement for the high-wealth group from the original personal income limit of 80,000 USD per year. Instead, the importance will be placed on the stable assets and long-term investment in Thailand (not less than 500,000 USD) of this group of foreigners rather than considering their annual income, which is in line with the goal of promoting more investment in the country. 5) Expand the rights for dependents from the original limit of only spouses and legitimate children to cover parents and dependents without limiting the number of dependents, similar to many other types of visas, to help increase the attractiveness of the measure for foreigners who want their families to reside in Thailand together and also help stimulate spending in the country of foreign family members. Currently, BOI has approved LTR Visa for more than 6,000 high-potential foreign personnel from around the world, with the largest group being Europe (2,500 people), followed by the United States (1,080 people), Japan (610 people), China (340 people) and India (280 people), respectively.

No changes for the Wealthy Pensioner category. Just the WGC, WFTP, and Dependent LTR visa categories are affected.

It should be as BYD has special arrangements with certain banks as listed below. Plus you are buying a new 2024 model, right? You are not buying a used vehicle, right? Heck the day you drive a new vehicle from the dealership the car is now a used vehicle and you could never sell it for the price you just paid for it. It's kinda like the day you drive it home its "resell value" has significantly dropped.

Yea...pretty similar to my experience. Just seems doing it in daylight against the solid color house wall made the difference....but I can't be 100% sure. Just glad the app finally passed me.

So, what do you think allowed a good face scan today. Lightning, quality of passport picture, etc...etc...etc?

OK...I finally bit the bullet and pulled my previous 6 to 7 year old Samsung A8+ phone from its dust bin storage location. It's still trying to update a lot of apps from Google Play as I haven't turned it on for about 6 months. But I was able to install the Elexa app while Google Play updates a bunch of outdated apps on the phone. Anyway, on my Samsung A8+ the Elexa map problem I have on my Samsung S24+ does not exist....works fine. So, it's a compatibility issue between my Samsung S24 and the Elexa app. But I would still appreciate any feedback from Android issues if you having the Elexa map problem I described in my earlier posts...and if you do have the problem what brand and model of Android phone you are using. Thanks.

Thanks. Any Android users listening in and maybe using the Elexa app...do you have the Elexa map problem I experience with my Samsung S24+?

Thanks. What is your phone brand and model?

Another charging app/network that has weird zoom setup to show its chargers locations is the "iGreen+" charging network (1st snapshot below from Google Play). Now I have not registered/sign-up with this app primary because the great, great majority of its charger locations are in Bangkok where I live...don't do me much of any good on long road trips where I looking for DC chargers out in the provinces. But I have installed the app as you can still experience the great majority of the app menus/screens/functions, etc., without actually registering with the app. iGreen seems to concentrate on placing low power "DC" chargers such as 20KW and 30KW "DC" chargers very close to or in condo buildings, but they do have some higher power DC 150KW chargers in some locations like close to a Foodland I visit about once a week. Heck, I didn't even know there were DC chargers below 50KW until I used this app...and did some more research regarding DC chargers. iGreen may be of interest of those EV owners living in Bangkok and don't have access to a home wallcharger....or if you travel to Bangkok a lot and being able to charge in Bangkok for your return trip is all you really need to get back home. But back to its weird zoom function (2nd snapshot of a 4 picture collage as I zoom in). When zooming at a level to see all of Bangkok there is just on green circle location shows a LOT of chargers instead of like other charging apps that may show a LOT of pindrops plastered all over Bangkok....being able to see nothing but pindrops. With the iGreen app as you zoom out that one pindrop will then exploded in more pindrops...you might now see 3 or 4 pindrops where that 1 pindrop use to be indicating a lot of chargers in those locations. But as you continue to zoom in those individual pindrops exploded/mutate again and again in more pindrops. And each time the pindrops multiply you start realizing that the charger locations may be a very healthy distance apart....numerous kilometers apart. And after you continue to zoom in to actually see where the particular chargers you are interested in using are actually located you might decide the location(s) is not one you want to go to due to terrible Bangkok traffic because sometimes going from one Bangkok location to Bangkok another location just 1 kilometer away can seem like a 10 km trip due to horrendous traffic and/or the way/sois/u-turns/etc., you might have do. Yea, if using the iGreen app be sure to zoom in close because being zoomed out a little too far could mislead a person as to how many chargers are in an area and "truly" just how far apart (or close) they really are. The iGreen map zoom is kinda like a fireworks that first explodes into a bunch of lights and then a half second later those individual lights explode again....etc...etc....etc.

Sure enough you found some lurking out in the sticks. While looking at that Khao Laem National Park (in Kanchanaburi) blue pindrop that did include AC and DC connectors kinda close by was another blue pindrop at the Sai Yok National Park. I was zoomed in enough just showing only those two blue pindrops. But when I tapped on the Sai Yok National Park pindrop the details that popped up showed it only had AC connectors. Well, that's strange as blue pindrops typically meant that location had DC connectors also or maybe only DC connectors. I closed the details message and tapped the blue pindrop again but this time it show only DC connectors at that location. Well, that strange I think. Tap it once and it only showed AC connectors...tap it again and it only showed DC connectors. I then decided to zoom way in just on the Sai Yok National Park area blue pindrop and as I zoomed in another blue pindrop came into view and as I continued to zoom a white AC pindrop can out from behind the blue pindrop...but that while pindrop was a different location probably a couple hundred meters away. So, your zoom level can be a major factor in showing all chargers and what type. At a zoomed out level there still may be more chargers, DC and/or AC that was hidden by/under another blue pindrop....and those other pindrops don't start appearing to you zoom way, way in. So the moral of this story is even though you have zoomed in to "what you think" is enough to show the chargers in the area you are concerned about you may need to zoom in a lot more to where you can't zoom in no more to ensure you can see all the pindrops as one or more pindrops may be hiding behind another pindrop. Now I've always known this from playing with the 5 other charging apps I'm signed up with, but this Elexa app seems to take it to the next level in how a person must use the map zoom function (unless they want to do a text search) probably because of all the chargers they have. P.S. did you get a chance to test on your phone if your location and chargers disappear off the Elexa map when you have the Elexa map open and showing your location and chargers "AND then without closing the Elexa app just switch over to using another app like Google Maps, email, browser, banking app, etc., for even just a second (don't close/logout of your Elexa app) and then switch back to displaying the Elexa map to see if your location and chargers are still showing...or your location and chargers have now disappeared leaving just a solid white Elexa map with only its menu icons showing. See my earlier post for pictures of the problem I'm experiencing. Would like some feedback on if it's happening with other folks also and what phone they are using. I don't experience this problem on any of my other charging apps like PTT, PEA, etc.,; just the Elexa app.

Here's how Google AI responded to my query about "BYD vehicles with towing capability." Maybe an Atto 3 at around Bt900K would work for you. But I would double check with BYD...want to see some printed BYD specs confirming its towing rating versus just blindly believing some google search.

The best I can figure is the white are AC only and the blue DC only. I looked at the charger details at several dozen pindrops and I didn't see any that had AC and DC connectors; it was either all AC connectors or all DC connectors.

Here's a snapshot for the Elexa mobile app set to only show Elex by EGAT DC chargers across Thailand....they have a lot. Many of them at PT Stations and the PT Stations I passed rarely have signs indicating if they have an EV charging station or not. Like that PT station in Nakhorn Pathom with the Elex by EGAT DC charger....that PT Station has no EV sign on its main road sign but the Elexa app shows it there.

Regarding having a of DC chargers if going to the Elexa by EGAT webpage it's sadly outdated and/or just shows Alexa related chargers apparent "purely owned and operated" by EGAT; it does "not" show "Other" chargers using the Alexa app and Elex by EGAT chargers. https://elexaev.com/station-maps/ Instead, you need to use the Alexa mobile app to see all the chargers. Like that Elex by EGAT charger that's been frustrating me in Nakorn Pathom is not shown on their webpage but is shown in the Elexa mobile app...along with a "LOT" more Elex by EGAT chargers they classify as "Other." It seems to be like a lot of the Alex chargers are really owned (or maybe leased) by "whoever wants to put a charger" at their location (like PT Stations)...or said another way become a partner with Elex by EGAT....maybe like a franchise setup. Anyway, use the mobile app to see all the chargers they have

Good luck. Be sure to try the face scan with a background that is a solid color similar to the background used in your passport picture i possible. And of course taking a high quality, sharp. no glare picture of your main passport page/picture is very important; otherwise, you'll never be able to get the selfie face scan to pass even if you just got a brand new passport. But I hear you, I was literally ready to totally give-up on passing the face scan after I had attempted it numerous times last week over several days mostly while indoors but also when trying it outside several times. But on about the 9th try when attempting it in the daylight while standing against my home's solid, light tan colored wall I suddenly passed the test. But that was around the 6th face while standing against that wall. And I kid you not, just before I attempted that last try I told myself I will try "just one more face scan"...if I don't pass I will give up for today "and maybe forever." Elexa must have picked up on that thought and then let me pass the their face scan test. 😁

Today/Sunday afternoon around 3pm I happened to be back at the mother-in-law's town of Nakorn Pathom and real close to an Alexa DC charger. I decided to give the Alexa app/charger another try just like my failed attempts last Sunday afternoon at the same charger as I whined above in several above posts. This is the only Elexa charger in the mother-in-law's area...next nearest one was 25Km away...if I had a closer one I would have given it a try. Was really curious as to if the Elexa app would be "painfully slow" as last Sunday afternoon and it was!!! In fact slower than last Sunday when after several tries and long waits I was able to complete a brief operational test charge. But today after two attempts I couldn't get a charging session going. And just before trying to use the app to start the charging sessions I checked to see if the app was slow or fast....and it was painfully slow....like taking 60 to 90 seconds just to logon.....normally when operating fast it would only take around 2 seconds. Now what I did this time was some more testing to see if maybe I just had a very slow mobile connection at this location. But no, my phone mobile signal strength meter showed 4 of 4 bars on a 5G connection and a SpeedTest showed a 177Mb Download and 26Mb Upload speed. Now although the speed was great that does not necessarily mean the server you are connecting to (i.e., the Alexa server) and the network you are on (DTAC mobile in my case) are communicating quickly. I'm sure all of us have experience situation where your laptop or phone just simply can get a good connection to a "specific website" but when you try many other websites your connection is fine. I also checked my 5 other charging apps like PTT, PEA, ReverSharger, etc., and they are all fast...logon within a second or two...super responsive. So, that indicates there is probably just something wrong with the Alexa network....like maybe not having enough capacity...or maybe it just has a problem with its internal network. I gave up and went to the nearby Global House hardware store about 500 meters away. Tried using the Alexa app again and still painfully slow....still taking 60 to 90 seconds just to logon...and then another 30-45 seconds for it to display it's map. Yeap, painfully slow. While I drive back to my home in Bangkok about 60 km away I do what you are not suppose to do....that is, use your mobile phone while driving. Over that 60 km return trip I would check the Alexa app about every 10km to see if the Alexa app starting working quickly again...if it did then that would indicate it was related to my mobile connection. But no, it was still painfully slow all the way home. And when I got home around 5:30pm I tried the app several times again on my mobile connection "AND" on my home high speed internet connection provided by AIS Fibre....still painfully slow. And my 5 other charging app continue to work quickly. I check several more times over the next few hours...still painfully slow. But starting around 7:45pm the Alexa app started working fairly quick again...no longer painfully slow. Kinda like last Sunday although when I went to bed around 10pm last Sunday night the Elexa app was still painfully slow and it wasn't until I checked again around 6:30am on Monday morning that showed Alexa operating quick again. So, it appears Alexa has a real problem on Sunday afternoons....so much of a problem you just may not be able use it for a charging session for whatever reason(s). Over the next week I'm going to try using that same charger, probably this coming Thursday, to see if the Alexa app works normally on weekdays. I just know from me checking the app daily from last Sunday thru this Sunday the app app was quick "except on Sunday afternoons." Alexa does have a lot DC chargers around the country primarily at PT Stations....could come in very handy on long trips. Just a shame the app has major problems like not drawing the chargers locations map sometimes and being "painfully slow" at times--or at least on Sunday afternoons based on my tests so far. More testing to do...will try to see how it works when the Elexa app is not in turtle mode.

Sounds likes the electric A/C scroll compressor running at Max cooling level and/or a really low cabin temperature. Even the BYD Atto electric A/C scroll compressor can be loud for a "few" minutes (like in above recording when) when first starting the car after its been setting in hot summer temperature/sunshine....the electric A/C compressor spins at max RPM ( which can a somewhat whining loud sound) to cool down the hot cabin as fast as possible. After getting the cabin temp cooled down the compressor spins much slower and quieter. While setting in the car it don't sound that loud at Max cooling but if standing outside the car it can sound a little loud especially since it's high pitch.

Preaching to the choir when I say personal preferences vary greatly in what looks great to one person while looking not-so-great (disliked) to another person. Like for me and Neta V's. I'm perfectly OK with the looks of a Neta V "as long as it's not a pink one." I think why I probably dislike the looks of a "pink" Neta V is because it reminds me of a medicine many mother's gave kids for upset stomach.....Pepto Bismol medicine...which is almost the same pink color. I still distinctly remember my Mom giving me as a kid Pepto Bismol for an upset stomach...while it didn't have a terrible taste it still had a taste I disliked. Memories, memories....

Above I talked about using a Elexa by EGAT app/charger (primarily about the Elexa app) and the major problems I had with the app on a Sunday besides just the e-KYC process which I finally got resolved. Problems I not only had when actually at the charger in Nakorn Pathom charger mid-day Sunday on a fast 5G connection but also after I got back home to Bangkok that Sunday afternoon and could now play with the app using my home fiber optics high speed Wifi connection and also the 5G mobile connection in Bangkok where the app was still painfully slow, apparently still having cloud server connection problems, etc. Over the last week I continued to play with the app at home on both high speed home internet connection and 5G mobile connection....played daily during different times during the day to better learn the app and check for problems--and I found a major problem which still exists as I write this post....or at least it's a major problem I experience on my phone which is a Samsung S24+...a Samsung flagship model. By Monday morning the app was no longer painfully slow like it had been on Sunday whether in Nakorn Pathom or back home in Bangkok. But occasionally it would still have a server exception errors. It was no longer VERY slow. Seems as of Monday morning it was moving along much better....but as had played with it home I found a major problem with its map and charger location display function...which as already mentioned still exists as I write this post.+. The problem is when you first open the Elexa map, you are on its Home menu page where it displays your location and Elexa chargers. This display works fine as long as you "only", repeat, only use the Elexa app. But if you keep the Elexa app open and momentary open another app like say Google Maps, your mobile bank app, just "any" other app, and then switch back to viewing the Elxexa app your location and all chargers have disappeared...you only have a white screen where the Elexa map is suppose to be displaying your location and chargers. You can try refreshing the screen or go into any of the other Elexa menu settings like Privileges, scan QR code, Trip Planner, Other, etc., and all the stuff that suppose to display "does" in Elexa's other menus does display properly. But if then pressing the Home icon to see your map location and charger locations the screen is just white with only its menu icons still showing...doesn't show your location or chargers....all gone. I "do not"have this problem when using any of the 5 other charging apps like PTT, PEA, etc., that I use on my phone. See snapshots below of Elexa's normal map display (1st snapshot) and then what it looks like after opening another app briefly and the switching back to displaying the Elexa app (2nd snapshot). And in one of Bjorn Nyland EV Youtubes he posted around a month ago where he was using Elexa charger on an EV trip in Thailand he was having the problems with the Elexa app to included being bother by the e-KYC popup message that sometimes appeared. And the only what to get the Elexa's map function to work properly again is to log out of Elexa and/or doe a Force Stop of Elexa. See the additional notes I added above the snapshots. I did report this to Elexa Customer Service...they answered within 30 minutes basically thanks for the input/crossfeed....and they will try to improve. For any of you registered with the Elexa app I would appreciate any feedback as to if you are having the same map problem and what phone you are using. . That is the Elexa map appears properly when "only" using the Elexa app, but if needing to open another app at the same time even for a second and then switching back to displaying the Elexa app then the Elexa map is now basically a while screen which you can not get to display properly again under logging out and back in again and/or doing a Forced Stop of the app. It may just be a situation of where Elexa and just Samsung S24's do not get along...or maybe Elexa just don't get along with a lot of different brands/models of phones. Thanks. 1st Snapshot: Normal display with Elexa app---before opening/switching to another app also like Google Maps, your mobile banking app to pay for a charging session, just any other app. 2nd Snapshot: Display after opening another app and then switching back to the Elexa app Home screen where it displays the map, your location, charger locations, etc. While the menus associated with the display are still there the underlying map had disappeared. The only way I found to get the map/chargers back is to completely close the Elexa app for a few seconds which logs you off or doing a Forced Stop and then reopen/relog onto the app then your locations and chargers show again like in the snapshot above.
