Re: [LegacyUG] Mapping feature

Hi,

 

I have to agree with Paul. This needs to be a priority for Millennia,

I was a heavy user of the mapping feature and was in the middle of a large 
verification project which has now had to be put on the back burner.

 

What concerns me though is that we have heard very little from Millennia about 
this. Are they doing a work-around? Or perhaps doing a re-write to use Google 
maps instead (my personal preference)?

 

It would just be nice if they kept us in the loop as to what was happening.

Ian,

Because the old API for mapping was discontinued by Microsoft ALL
versions of Legacy which used mapping no longer work. That includes 7.5,
8.0 and earlier builds of 9.0. There is no way to revert to an earlier
version where you can still use mapping.

Re: [LegacyUG] Bing Maps and Geo-Code

[Steve Wilson]

Hi,

 

I just recently purchased and downloaded the new version of Legacy. 

 

I use the Bing Maps and geo-code extensively. 

 

I am extremely disappointed to discover that this part of the program was not 
working at the time to updated program was made available.

 

How long will I have to wait before this problem is fixed?

RE: [LegacyUG] Household Staff on Census Forms

[Steve Wilson]

Hi,

Thank you all so very much for your input. I have a lot to consider now.

What I have been doing when entering U.S. Federal Census data is to list each 
member of the household with the following information under the text section 
of the details page:  Relationship to Head of Household - , Age - , Occupation 
- , Marital Status - . Adding household staff will be easy to do this way 
without adding anyone to the family list.

Thanks again!

Steve W.

I have even found Boarders that were either family members or married a family 
member.  I usually add them to my To-Do list.  I don't add servants unless I 
have proof they are related.  I did it once for a family servant that I knew 
personally only because she was treated like family and had been with that 
family for a long time.  Then I later removed her because I didn't think she 
belonged there and I knew she wasn't related.

[LegacyUG] Household Staff on Census Forms

[Steve Wilson]

Hi,



I have a question about staff/servant that are listed as part of a household
on a census form.



I am looking at a 1910 United States Federal Census that has 2 people listed
as part of the household; a cook and a nurse. I do not include these people
as part of the household when entering census information. What do other
people do?



Thanks, Steve W.

RE: [LegacyUG] And a US Census Area be considered a county?

[Steve Wilson]

The State of Alaska is divided up into Boroughs for the purposes of local 
government and administration. This vast area has no local-level government 
other than that of school districts and municipalities within its limits. Many 
of the villages do have tribal governments, however. Except within some 
incorporated cities, all government services in the Unorganized Borough, 
including law enforcement, are provided by the state or by the Tribal 
government. School districts in the Unorganized Borough are operated either by 
cities, in those limited instances when the city has chosen to undertake those 
powers, or through the general guidance of the state Department of Education 
under the auspices of Rural Education Attendance Areas



*   Aleutians West Census Area 

*   Bethel Census Area 

*   Dillingham Census Area 

*   Hoonah–Angoon Census Area 

*   Kusilvak Census Area 

*   Nome Census Area 

*   Prince of Wales – Hyder Census Area 

*   Southeast Fairbanks Census Area 

*   Valdez–Cordova Census Area 

*   Yukon–Koyukuk Census Area 




Where I worked we used the Borough names as a county name.

Subject: [LegacyUG] And a US Census Area be considered a county?

When I add a USA based location for birth, death or marriage events I usually 
list the city, county, state and USA in the location field.
However my son married his wife in a small town in Alaska near Glacier Bay 
National Park that does not belong to any county. The town, Gustavus is a part 
of what is known as the "Hoonah-Angoon Census Area".

Of course when I enter that Legacy tells me no such county in Alaska exists.  
Would it still be appropriate to enter that in the County field or should it 
just be left blank?

[LegacyUG] Bing Maps and Event Addresses

[Steve Wilson]

Hi,



I am asking if there is a way that Event Address should be entered so that
Bing Maps can accurately identify the address on the map?

I have entered many cemeteries with the street address, city, states, Zip
Code and USA only to have Bing Maps pin the cemetery miles away from its
actual location. What is very frustrating is that the cemetery is named on
the Bing Map!



Thanks, Steve Wilson

RE: [LegacyUG] Bing Maps and Event Addresses

[Steve Wilson]

What I have been doing is looking up the location on Google Maps and toggling 
back and forth between Legacy/Event Address screen  and Google Maps to get the 
location down to where it actually is on the Event Address map



The frustrating part, at least for me, is that when I find the location on Bing 
Maps in the Event Address screen, the location is identified on the map! I have 
had multiple occasions when I have entered say Oak Hill Cemetery,123 Main 
Street, Anytown, MD, USA. Bing maps will put the Pin in the center of the State 
of Maryland. When I go through the process of locating the correct location on 
Bing, the cemetery will be named on the Bing map. Why do I have to take the 
time to correct the location on the map provided to Legacy users through Bing?



I have sent corrections to Find a Grave also, but that is another message board.

You would do much better to not use Bing Maps within Legacy. It works fine when 
I go to Bing Maps outside of Legacy. I have locations in the USA and in Europe. 
I always double check, using Google Maps and Bing Maps. Bing Maps zooms in 
closer than Google and has bird's eye option in addition to aerial. That is 
very helpful for identifying buildings; for accuracy, always use aerial to 
pinpoint the coordinates, though.

One feature of Google is that even when you are searching for a specific 
address, it often opts to show coordinates for a close address or some nearby 
location that has already been entered into Google. I often must zoom in closer 
to pick out the correct location, then right-click, opt for What's here?, to 
get the precise coordinates. This problem is evident on the website FindAGrave, 
where too many people enter coordinates that Google gave them, but never 
actually look at the map to see that the coordinates are not the address they 
searched for.

I have many churches, castles, houses, etc., that Google will put in the middle 
of field, river, etc., instead of on the precise location.
