Sherry, your instructions are too brief for us amateurs. 1. How is this different than using the "Show Geo Location List" button when adding a location to an event? Both buttons seem to go to the same "Geo Location List".
2. How does one "select to code all the locations"? I can only see how to do one-by-one. 3. Where is the option to recode the location? Thanks.

We've seen a lot of pin misplacements when the coding has been done through Geo Location Database. If a specific location is off, select the option to recode that location.
