But if you're geo-coding through Bing, then Big should locate the place correctly. We're aware that corrdinates in Geo Location Database are not always correct and unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it since it came from another company.
I have worked with users who have reported problems with Bing not locating places correctly. There is one area in the world which is not coding correctly (it's been reported to the programmers and not a commonly used area) and for other areas it's really strange but I can usually get the location pinpointed correctly when I enter it exactly as the user who is having trouble enters it. Sometimes you need to "finesse" the location just a bit and then it works ok - not sure why that is, but once you get it where it belongs, click on the Geo-Code button and select "Do not auto-geocode the current location" Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 7:32 AM, Gene Young <[email protected]> wrote: > On 2/24/2012 9:02 AM, Michele Lewis wrote: > > , Marshall, Alabama, USA > > The problem lies in the database that Legacy uses for Geo-locating. > Some of the locations have incorrect latitude and longitudes entered and > therefore locate the wrong place.
