The only "problem" (is it one?) with all this "kludging" to get the full
address into the Location field so it shows up on the map - the MASTER
LOCATION list will get really long and hard to standardize (heck - it will
even be hard to see if it is NOT standardized). Granted, I like the idea of
each event being able to be linked to a specific place, but . . .
I think Legacy should rethink their LOCATION field - I know some would not
like it, and it would mean a big change to the database, but maybe EACH
event should include a separate street address field, so the existing field
could stay just city,county,state,country (or whatever - but not the actual
street address).
Or - maybe - and this is what many folks probably would not like - split up
the location into many INDIVIDUAL fields:
* Other/comment/free-form
* street address
* city
* county
* state
* country
OBVIOUSLY they'd have to come up with some names that would be more flexible
for different countries (state/providence, county/district/xxx, etc)
Thoughts?

Bruce,
Not being restricted by the constraints of standardisation my locations are
as follows:
House number and Street, Local Area, District, Town/City, Country.
Works a treat. Zoom the map enough and providing that the street still
exists (and is on the map) it is there! Bask in an air of
self-satisfaction - beautiful to watch!

I have the same question. If I put in street addresses in the
Location (creating multiple locations for one city) I could then put a
pin for each different address. Is this the way to accomplish this
task?
Thanks,
Bruce

Hello,
I was wondering what the best practice was to map or document coordinates
of specific locations if the multiple locations are in the same town. For
instance Residences, Burial locations, etc. I would like to add a
different
location to each instance to have the pin point location of all events.
Is
there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Chuck
