Re: [LegacyUG] Master Location List maps

[CE WOOD]

And, NEVER trust just Google or Bing maps. Entering a latitude and longitude 
will not necessarily return the exact location. That is the main reason many of 
the cemeteries on FindAGrave are wrong - someone trusted what Google or Bing 
returned without looking at the map, and pinpointing the churchyard!

It would be useful if a better implementation was also substituted - consistent 
with the way that both Bing Maps and Google Maps return the LatLong to the user 
on their maps (which are different, as you would know).

In my opinion, the current method in Legacy for manually inputting a location 
is a nonsense. And if the nlocation name inpout returns a not-found, I always 
end up somewhere off the coast of the USA.

No, it's still being worked on. It probably won't be in the next update as 
there's a new beta to test some FamilySearch stuff and that is likely to go to 
public release before the mapping is sorted.

I assume Legacy cares enough about the many users with earlier versions of 
LegacyFamilyTree so that your fix will return that invaluable tool to them!

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Location List maps

[Cathy Pinner]

Ian,

I've mapped the majority of my locations and I haven't manually input 
the coordinates once - if that's what you mean.
Otherwise are you complaining that you have to type in a location? Seems 
unreasonable to me. You'd still have to type even if it were possible to 
have a complete list of all world locations for the last few centuries. 
The geo-database was a try at a list of current locations. To me it was 
so unsuccessful I haven't installed it for years.

What the new API will facilitate is yet to be seen.

I don't understand the wish for things to be even more easily entered. I 
expect to research locations. I learn heaps more than just where it is 
on the map.

I already often use Google Maps in Legacy, but on three screens:
One with Legacy and the second with Google Maps open.
 And on the third, I've excel where I convert the usual standard 
decimal coordinates to the non-standard string of numbers used in Legacy.

And then copy and paste.
Wish I could do it right in Legacy on one screen

Who said anything about 'removing' the maps? If there is a change in licensing 
of map use (perhaps from Bing to Google) that would mean the end of one

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Location List maps

[Denise Moss-Fritch]

Well, I reported less than two hours ago (well after Cathy's note below)
that I had maps in Legacy, including the Master Locations List. As of now, I
no longer have maps. The change was sudden, from having maps to just a blank
white space where the map should be displaying throughout Legacy.

 

Sorry, but I suspect there is a 'bit' more than a 'change at BING maps'.
Could this sudden change possibly be related to the ownership change?

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Location List maps

[Denise Moss-Fritch]

Thankfully I have maps still active for the Master Place List. (After importing 
a GEDCOM months ago I am still sorting through 5,000 plus locations and am 
downs to 3,500 now.)

 

As for ‘add Google Maps’, with software development it is not a matter of 
‘moving’ as which maps are part of the software development tools. Meaning 
licensing (and costs) involved. Now that Legacy is part of MyHeritage, perhaps 
a different map system will be used – note that MyHeritage does use Google maps 
for their PedigreeMap™ view online -  so just guess we will have to ‘wait and 
see’ what the future brings.
