Ron The problems I have found are numerous insofar that when they moved UK & Isle of Man from county series map to the current Ordnance Survey series and the to the digital mapping spelling of names have changed and in a few instance locations have gone off the face of this earth. This makes life a little interesting matching old locations to modern locations. Having worked with all three I hit on the problems with the Geo Location Database & Virtual Earth but Google Earth has a more up to database.

I can only refer to the UK at present and I have not tried entering Latitude and Longitudes at present as they ar something I don't use, but I see no reason why they should cause a problem - I'll have look and let you know. Using auto-find it works very well indeed (again in the UK) Similarly I will look up some very obscure island (I don't think I have any in my DB) and will let you know of any problems.
