Deviating from the topic slightly... Does anyone have any experience of the "Map My Family Tree" add-on. How does it compare with the standard mapping and Google for that matter; particularly for the British Isles and the rest of Europe. Any info gladly received Thanks Keith Drury Myers On 1

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

Sorry, Cathy, I doubt age is the problem! I'm one of the complainers at age 84. Geography is my problem with Bing, the Bing index is very poor for UK both rural and cities. Mary Young On 13 Sep 2016 03:18, "Cathy Pinner" wrote: Crystal, With any automatic mapping, you have to check the location

Crystal, With any automatic mapping, you have to check the location. You can shift the Pin in Legacy Mapping by right clicking on the map. I check all mapping and mark the verified column in the Master Location list when I know the pin is in the right place. I'm just amazed at how often the Bing

I have an issue with the maps. It shows some of my family, like my dad for example living in places I know he never lived. In one particular instance I thought maybe I put a census source in for my dad that actually was a source for a different Ed Emory. But I checked and I had the correct Frankli
