Re: [LegacyUG] Mapping specific locations that are in the same town in Version 7
Susan, Thanks for your reply. I think that I may have to do the unacceptable practice of adding street addresses to the towns so I can get it to map correctly. If I can't have multiple locations in the same town to map correctly using the acceptable practice, then I don't see the use of the mapping feature. So, to make use of the mapping feature, I will add the street address. It will expand the master location list greatly but it will be mapped correctly. What I don't understand is why the mapping feature doesn't map the address lists (mailing, event, repository). It looks like to me if it did that, I could leave the standardized location format but still have detailed map locations. Anyway, thanks for your reply, Chuck On Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 5:11 PM, Susan Daily [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Chuck, I doubt it is considered acceptable practice per se.

Bob, There really is no problem when the street is added to the location (unless one uses the 4 field geo-location feature). Admittedly the list is long but so what?

RE: [LegacyUG] Mapping specific locations that are in the same town in Version 7
Bruce, Not being restricted by the constraints of standardisation my locations are as follows: House number and Street, Local Area, District, Town/City, Country. Works a treat. Zoom the map enough and providing that the street still exists (and is on the map) it is there! Bask in an air of self-satisfaction - beautiful to watch!

If I put in street addresses in the Location (creating multiple locations for one city) I could then put a pin for each different address. Is this the way to accomplish this task?

Re: [LegacyUG] Mapping specific locations that are in the same town in Version 7
Chuck, the only way to do this would be to add more locations to your master location list. If you create locations that follow this pattern: Town - Address, County, State, Country, where the dash and Address are your specific spots (like a cemetery, residence, etc.), then you can map a specific location, and keep the town in order. In most cases, the VE mapping engine will pick up these additional IDs if you use a dash rather than enclose the info in parenthesis.

Susan, Thanks for the info. Is the format you speak of acceptable practice or is it just to get the desired results in Legacy?
