Tim,
This may sound a lot like advertising. But I treat it as making
Legacy Users aware of this tool. I know I do not make a dime making
this knowledge available. In fact, I end up spending a lot of time
helping people with it.
Yes, you do use a Gedcom file for importing the data. At some point
you need to identify what is going to be the master copy of your
database. and a lot of people feel that Legacy is likely the best
tool to be a master.
I have databases from a few hundred people to almost 100K people in
Legacy that I have successfully uploaded to TNG.
What TNG has done in Version 7 (after a lot of prodding by me and
others...) is to get TNG to import some of the proprietary Legacy
Gedcom tags so that the Lat/Long data is imported, among other Legacy
specific data.
If you or anyone wishes to learn more, we can chat off-list.

How does data get into TNG? Do I need a GEDCOM file?
If you already have your genealogy in a desktop program (like PAF,
Legacy, FamilyTreeMaker, Reunion, etc.), then the quickest and easiest
way to get your data into TNG is to have your program output a GEDCOM
file (standard method of genealogical data exchange) and then import it
into TNG. The whole process takes only a few minutes (or less, depending
on how big your file is). Of course you don't really need a GEDCOM file.
If you want to enter your data by hand directly into TNG, you can do
that through the administrative interface.
