Hi Paula,
This is not quite correct. The search feature looks in a number of places to
determine if someone has been found in the census.
From the help Legacy looks in several places to see if the current census has
already been referenced for a particular person. These include event names
The main thing to bear in mind here is that it is generally not the App that
determines the accuracy of the GPS coordinates but the device itself. The app
just displays the position that the receiver has derived. The accuracy of
civilian GPS receivers is typically in the order of 10-20m
True and magnetic north have no effect on GPS accuracy. It is only relevant if
you are navigating with it.
Getting into datums is really beyond the scope of this group and is a little
complex. The differences in the datums that GPS units use will be far smaller
than the overall error in the

Of course it depends on the specs of your computer. My netbook has an Atom N270

Yes that is true but the point is that it would be preferable for Legacy to
simply output a single source which looks the footnote/endnote citation we see
in the program.
