I, too, am very thankful for the Geo-Location feature. Among other
things, I've learned when counties have been formed (or not) & its saved
me having to drag out books looking for county information. I think its
one of the best features of Legacy.

I could not disagree more with Chris Squires' assessment that
Geo-location is close to worthless.
I spent the last day or two cleaning up my "locations" in Legacy.
I had imported all my genealogical data from an old DOS program
(Family History System) into Legacy. The DOS program limited me as to
how many characters I could use for a location. I was new to genealogy
and computers and did not enter location information consistently.
What I now had to clean up was a major mess. My life was made far,
far, far, far, far easier being able to access the wonderful Legacy
feature named Geo-location. Geo-location saved me time and caught many
typos. See example below.
So, thank you, thank you to the person at Millennia who approved
Geo-location and to the person on LUG who bought me my copy of Legacy
6.0!!!!!

Example: Legacy/Geo-location would not accept Wingrave,
Buckinghanshire, England, but "showed" me that Wingrave,
Buckinghamshire, England was correct.
