Welcome John, Firstly, you should keep your customer number private. These emails are archived for the world to see.
Speaking of archives, you will find a lot of information on the entry of location information if you were to search through them. The summary goes something like this, allowing for tweaks for personal preferences... You have two ways to enter location information. The first is as a location field associated with an event, either one of the vitals or one of the Fact/Events. The second is as one of the address entries (behind the + (plus sign) buttons in the user interface). Generally, you get more value in Legacy from the former than you do for the latter. As such, we (user community) have taken to making the location fields work to suit our research needs. Some ignore the 4 place system Legacy prompts for, and others (like myself) have tried to work within that system to get the sorting benefit within Legacy. So, to finally get to the answer of your question, it is suggested you enter your location something like the following... Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, USA (Aunt #1) Los Angeles-111 Easy Street, Los Angeles County, California, USA (Aunt #2) Los Angeles-Los Angeles Cemetery, Los Angeles County, California, USA etc. etc. On Sun, Sep 25, 2011 at 1:06 PM, John Gregson <jfgreg...@shaw.ca> wrote: > Customer Number: 72-768-960-42 > Invoice Date: 08-26-2011 > Order # 88186 > > I am using Legacy 7.5 (deluxe version) with Win 7-32 > > I'm still learning Legacy 7.5 > I live in Canada, and as a result I'm unfamiliar with U.S. locals. > I have two aunts who lived and died in Los Angeles., California. > The first aunt as yet has no detailed data for the her death place, so the > GPS data (and Map) > would just be for a general Los Angeles local. > > The second aunt has a street address for her death place. > Google Earth gives me a good GPS for the exact location. > If I save this location into Legacy; the general location for the first aunt > is over written. > I expected that Legacy would have the ability to show many locations on a > Map, within the same city. > > Just to elaborate further.
