In trying to fix unresolved Geobase locations, I’m seeing seemingly inconsistent Geobase mapping of locations as follows: (this is 7.5 not yet purchased v 8):
For example, I had this address listed in wrong format 4 different ways, for same person, but different year events: This is a Senior Living Facility in Walnut Creek, CA; 1125 Fairlawn Ct. #4, Walnut Creek, Contra Costa, California This now should be the correct address(minus USA if that matters), 2 of the listings weren’t associated (in the Master Location list anyway) with that person(if that makes a difference), and 2 were. But, after deleting 2 of the addresses not associated in the Master Location list, for the same address as above, I get 2 DIFFERENT Geo map locations for that same address, one is correct and one is for a totally different county far away in another part of California. Is this a glitch or does it have something to do with deleting/correcting method I used? Another case: I had this location first: 1110 Davis St., Ward # from 1920 census, Milwaukee, Wisconsin (I now have listed this more correct location;) 1110 Davis St., South Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53172 Removing the “ward” from the event “place” line helped(I put it into event description field) helped, but the geo map for this location still shows me a location in another county in Wisconsin, which is not the right place. I’m confused also because some addresses that seem to be “incomplete” still “map” correctly, which makes me think it doesn’t have so much to do with format? Or?? Again, am I missing something or is this a glitch? Or if I make a correction, do I have to close out the program to save the editing? Or ?? Another OCCASIONAL issue I have(not necessarily Geobase?) is sometimes when I enter a certain county location in the address(birth/death fields) Legacy says the county doesn’t/didn’t exist, when in fact it does/did in the correct year listed. Since this only happens SOMETIMES, would this be a glitch? Anything to do with the other Geobase mapping issue above? I do also get Error 3102 messages (“entering deleted RIN” when I enter/import new people into the database, I’m guessing that is a separate issue but mention it in case it is related.
