And, NEVER trust just Google or Bing maps. Entering a latitude and longitude will not necessarily return the exact location. That is the main reason many of the cemeteries on FindAGrave are wrong - someone trusted what Google or Bing returned without looking at the map, and pinpointing the churchyard!

It would be useful if a better implementation was also substituted - consistent with the way that both Bing Maps and Google Maps return the LatLong to the user on their maps (which are different, as you would know). In my opinion, the current method in Legacy for manually inputting a location is a nonsense. And if the nlocation name inpout returns a not-found, I always end up somewhere off the coast of the USA. I saw a post from someone on this list, in the last week or so, who had 3 browser windows open to effectively do accurate and reproducible locations to plug into Legacy FT.

It probably won't be in the next update as there's a new beta to test some FamilySearch stuff and that is likely to go to public release before the mapping is sorted.
