Kay, Apart from saying that the lower the zoom the more inaccurate the the position of the pin looks, I am not going to go into this aspect further at the moment. The first thing is for you to be able to use it. If you start with an individual in, say Family View, and click the Mapping Icon then the program will automatically try to put the pins into the locations associated with this person. This can be quite inaccurate and it should be noted that it only reconises modern locations, The next thing to note is that one cannot move the pins and it is necessary to move the map, and then put your curser in the correct place and right click. But this cannot be done in the screen displayed when you click the mapping icon; you need to click "Resolve". This takes you to the same screen as View>Master Lists>Location and here you can move the map and set the location as described above. Using the zoom in and zoom out helps to manipulate the maps. The help Files give details of the meaning of the lettering of the column headers.
