Hi Sherry,
As it turns out the balloons are in the right place for those that I have
viewed (except for Boston, Suffolk County, MA, showing up in Suffolk,
England - your advise of not entering the county will fix this). However,
the events associated with them are mismatched This happens if there is
even one ? in the location list in the left-hand box. I just sent a message
to the list detailing the problem. All those that I viewed are current
locations.
I'll take the steps you outlined below.
Thanks!
Kay

Kay,
In the Master Location List, click on the Geo-code button and select
"Geo-code all unresolved locations...."
If you're still seeing some strays, highlight the errant location, click
on
the Geo-code button and select "Geo-code current location...."
I can tell you that I've seen VE will misplace some locations. It seems to
want to put my town of Mexico, Missouri somewhere in Mexico.
Plus it has no idea where historical locations are so if your towns no
longer exist, you'll have to estimate the location and set the pin there.
On
the map in the Master Location List, with the location highlighted in the
list, right click on the spot where the location should be. That will set
the coordinates to the correct place. Best done when zoomed in close on
the
map.
Also, you may have to enter a location without a county to set it
correctly,
then after it's set, edit the location again to include the county
Thanks for using Legacy.

Legacy 7.0.0.90 Deluxe Version - Windows XP
Haven't paid much attention to the mapping aspect until today. "Many" of
the locations in my locations list come up in the wrong (really wrong)
places on the map. For example, Phoenix, Maricopa County Arizona shows up
in Oshkosh, Winnebago County, Wisconsin. Oshkosh shows up in Marshfield,
Wood County, Wisconsin. Kekoskee, Dodge County, Wisconsin shows up in
Pierre, South Dakota. And on and on and on. Do I have a broken database?
According to the Users' Archives, one can move the push pin on the map.
I've not figured out how to do this - it won't drag and drop. Guess I need
to get the video. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kay
