If you use the addresses for events, you get a repetition of the location in reports unless you tweak the address with [[ brackets and other convolutions. You get something like this. He was born at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Address: Brisbane Hospital, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The whole idea of the local site field is to avoid this.

The Event Address is the solution and it prints with reports when it is selected in report Options. You can Show List in Event Addresses and Tag all people using it.

The "at" localation field would be a nice upgrade to Legacy for street addresses, churches, hospitals, etc. Currently I use the Notes section for that but it isn't a perfect solution. That is about the only thing I saw during the tour that interested me. In fact, a number of things would drive me nuts. The tabbed Individual View would be a particular annoyance ...
