About two years ago, I started using a camera that had built-in GPS. It geo-codes every photo I take. Using Picasa (free Google software), you can pinpoint where every photo was taken. I started using it mainly for cemetery locations, and grave marker locations within a large cemetery. At one point I made a new feature suggestion to Legacy, as it would be a valuable addition to the software, but never heard anything more about it. Using it directly within Legacy would be a great feature.
Dave From: Al Mieswinkel Sent: Saturday, September 14, 2013 4:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Latitude and Longitude As many of you do while searching family history, I identify many types of physical locations in my Legacy file, i. e. old homesteads, mills, gravestones, battle locations, old property corners, ghost towns, etc. I now carry my cell-linked iPad with me constantly and am interested in what the group uses as an accurate app (free or for cost) for this purpose. I want to climb into remote hills and read my exact location by coordinates. I stumbled onto a small cemetery with a few stone in the mountains this summer with no trails or roadbeds nearby. I did later contact the county and described the location as well as I could. They eventually found it and said they did not know it existed. Secondly, which of the group of coordinates formats does the group believe is the most useful or is it a matter of taste? Thanks.
