I could not disagree more with Chris Squires' assessment that Geo-location
is close to worthless.
I spent the last day or two cleaning up my "locations" in Legacy. I had
imported all my genealogical data from an old DOS program (Family History
System) into Legacy. The DOS program limited me as to how many characters I
could use for a location. I was new to genealogy and computers and did not
enter location information consistently. What I now had to clean up was a
major mess. My life was made far, far, far, far, far easier being able to
access the wonderful Legacy feature named Geo-location. Geo-location saved
me time and caught many typos. See example below.
So, thank you, thank you to the person at Millennia who approved
Geo-location and to the person on LUG who bought me my copy of Legacy 6.0!!!!!

Example: Legacy/Geo-location would not accept Wingrave, Buckinghanshire,
England, but "showed" me that Wingrave, Buckinghamshire, England was correct.

The newer Legacy facilities like Geo-location and the web-interface are of
no interest to me. I've tried to use them, but come to the conclusion that
they are more trouble than they are worth.
