Tessa, I hadn't put an adverse interpretation on what you posted, rather I was trying to emphasise that Legacy had a pretty good record in this respect, a lot better than we see with the misinformation from Ancestry to mention but one of many other programs.
Regarding, the Geo-Location Database, I cannot put it better than Mike already has!

I get how hard it is to make these programs work for everyone and that there are issues relating to translations, wording based on language, keyboards, etc. I also think there are easy things to do and more difficult ones. When you introduce a feature like this one and want to "sell it" it does help to either have the countries correct or explain why you choose the terms you did. I also wonder if we are going to be able to add or modify this feature (similar to timelines and Event/Facts sentence structure) because there are probably lots of countries that no longer exist or changed depending on the date (I have several in my own family file). In light of the history of Eastern Europe this could prove interesting. This is the downside of teasers - we might see a feature with a short description and wonder about the whys & hows or how far along the feature is. I suppose this forum becomes testers to a certain extent when we comment upon or point out errors or that something is unclear or wonder how useful it might be. I have found all the comments here in response to features shown and hoped for features not yet mentioned interesting and thoughtful. As to problems with the global location database used in Legacy, what are you referring to?
