You are probably remembering the Animap program which documents county
boundary changes for all states in the United States. It was not part of
Legacy but was sold by the Legacy Store. The program is a product of
GoldBug software, www.goldbug.com. They still sell AniMap and their
website has video tutorials on using the software. There is also a
Webinar on the Legacy Webinar site if you have a membership, "Mapping
software for Genealogists" which aired on 15 Sep 2010 has a section on
Animap as well as Centennia and Map My Family tree.

I know that there is a troubleshooting option that indicates if a
particular county hadn’t been created until a certain year. I thought I
Remembered an assist function on an earlier version of Legacy software
concerning counties. Maybe I’m thinking of another software.

Then one cannot find on a map if historic locations used. With many
relatives in West Virginia I have this problem. WV did not become a
state until June 20, 1863. On top of that many counties within the
state were divided over many years, far too many for me to recall them
all. Then there is the problem of knowing locations but not dates so one
cannot be certain of entries

An example for me was importing a person's info into my file. I
kept getting import errors stating the the location (birth place)
did not exist on that date (birth date). Now I have an issue, since
this place not only didn't exist when this person was born, but when
it did exist, it was in a different country than when he was born,
thus making him appear to be of one heritage, but was actually another.
I recommend ALWAYS putting the correct location in, and putting the
current name of the location in the notes.
