I have a question about this that I haven't seen answered yet. Where is the new location database file, that I installed a few days ago hiding? Before that, my v8 program was getting its location data okay, so I supposed it found it in the old Geo folder under the v7 Legacy folder. Out of curiosity, I changed the name of that to find out, and my locations in v8 still appear. The locations db file I have been using in v7 was downloaded in 2011, and is over 400 MB in size. So, were is the file now, and what is its name, if I may ask?
