All the talk about V7 mapping has me wondering. How well will it work for non-USA locations? How *does* it work? Will it use the coordinates I have entered? How will it handle coordinates that seem to map to the middle of the ocean? (Land masses that show up on satellite maps but are missing from

Kimberly, The mapping system uses Microsoft's Virtual Earth program. You can go online and check to see how it does with your international sites, and that is about how well it will do with Legacy. Keep in mind that the locations as entered in Legacy is how VE will be processing them. Here is the
