Morris, thank you for asking the question, and Brian, thank you for giving the answer. I made the change and entered a new location in the Events box, click the Geo Location Icon the new location is displayed with the Country "USA" just as the default edit had been set. Yeah! Which got me to thinking is it also possible to: 1. in the Location Short Name Field, can the default leave out the country USA? 2. in the Location Short Name Field, can the default the 2 letter abbreviation for the State? i.e. Alabama would be AL. If so, how? 3. in the Location Short Name Field, can the default be City, ST (leaving out the county name)? i.e Birmingham, Jefferson, Alabama, USA in the Long Name Field would be Birmingham, AL in the short name. As Morris pointed out, it sure would save a lot of editing.
