Paula, You can manually adjust the setting of the marker within Legacy. Whether reporting this to Bing will do any good, I haven’t a clue!

Does Bing do that? (granted, my experience was it was pointing to the wrong place within a city... did not recognize an address) --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Sherry/Support <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, February 24, 2012 9:47:02 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Another example 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 Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
