Are you saying that it was OK in Legacy 8 or is this the first time
you've tried Map My Family?
In the Master Location list with maps on, have you asked Legacy to auto
map/geocode your locations? If you do that, you need to check them.
In the Master Location list, there is a button near the top of the
screen - with "Geo-Code" written on it.
Click that and there are a number of options which include Geo code the
current location again (meaning the highlighted location)
That may give you a better mapping.
Or simply go to the right place on the map and then right click on the
map to reset the pin.
Bing maps, which Legacy links to, are pretty good at finding places but
I don't know about US locations. The normal problems I have is for
historic locations where the name has changed. Otherwise, it does a
pretty good job of my Australian and UK locations.
Once you've verified the relevant locations, go back to Map My Family.

In my Legacy 9 the maps seem to more than a little off.
As an example, my 3rd great grandparents were married in Madison
County, Ohio. I thought - and Google agrees - that that is between
Columbus and Dayton. With Map my Family it is on Lake Erie, east of
Cleveland toward the New York line. Logan County, Illinois, has moved
to eastern Macon County, Illinois.
Note that there is no other info in those locations, just the county
name, state, USA.
What is causing this? I assume it is something I am doing but what?
