Actually, the mapping in Legacy is quite good when dealing with most locations. Bing maps (the old version) seems more accurate than the new. Depending on the country, Bing or Google may have closer views of the location - governmental bias, perhaps. Google has better 3D.
Using Legacy's Bing, I can often pinpoint the exact building more easily than with other mapping programs, of which I use many. I always use exact coordinates for churches, castles, houses, gravestones (when possible), et alia. By the way, I have been able to pinpoint in Bing every Finnish site mentioned earlier in the thread. Legacy's ability to convert from decimal to degrees and vice-versa is a god-send!!

I am constantly correcting it.

These islands do not exist according to Bing, when I enter their names guesses Bing and misplace them, often in the Mojave Desert or in Africa, and when I enter the coordinates they become pinned in the middle of nowhere Also, the shore profiles of the islands found is so rough that they are impossible to recognize. But Google Maps knows them and find them accurate with much better quality.
