Yes, how to correct an auto pinned location? I have the list of places were I can see the coordinates and that Bing has “guessed” them but I can’t clear the “guess”, to do so I have to go to the Edit and there clear the latitude and longitude. Only then will the box be visible where I can stop Bing to “Guess”.
Then I have to find the correct place (that may be on the other side of the earth), either on the map in Legacy or on other maps. And the coordinates I get (for Bengtskär 59°43'23.41"N, 22°29'56.95"E or decimal 59,723061N, 22,498890E) are not usable in Legacy, i have to convert them to 594323.41N, 0222956.95E; i.e. a string of numbers It must be possible to make it easier! And Denice, I also use another genealogy programs (mostly for creating reports): The Complete Genealogy Builder (TCGB) with its report generator The Complete Genealogy Reporter (TCGR) AND TCGB has integration with Google Maps ..... 2016-09-13 10:22 GMT+02:00 Mary Young <m...@cmy.org.uk>: > Sorry, Cathy, I doubt age is the problem!
