Thanks Brian. I was just wondering because when I export a GEDCOM from LEGACY and create a GEDCOM 5.5 file with it, I am not able to transfer the longitude / latitude information for the Google mapping system to our website. But when I create a GEDCOM file FOR LEGACY, as you stated, I am able to transfer the longitude / latitude information to the website just fine. My website cannot utilize a LEGACY (.fdb) file directly, but must use a GEDCOM for the transfer. So, I have learned through trial and error to use the GEDCOM that is being designed for LEGACY even though the file is transferred to a TNG (The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding) website and not to LEGACY, if that is making sense to you.
