There's a Beta for MapCrucher based on Microsoft Virtual Earth. A free
download goggle for it.
You can zoom in and it will display location on the cross hairs.
Great if you want exact location information for house, cemetery,
hospital, etc.
If you can find it on the map you then get the longitude, latitude.

Hi Martin,
The Geo Location list hasn't been updated since introduced and is just
a guide which may be helpful particularly in the US.
I don't use it.
I prefer to research locations for myself - and the mapping has made
it easier to explore the neighbourhood once you've found it.
So now my locations are slowly getting Lats and Longs added from the
mapping.

I have just upgraded to Legacy 7 so thought I would give Geo Location
another try. Just too frustrating with non-US locations because it
does not
recognise most places and screws up others by adding US locations on
to the
end of a perfectly valid non-US location because it find somewhere in
the US
with a similar name.
