GeoDB Tools

The Geo database used by Legacy has not been maintained for several years.

  • Many locations have faulty coordinates.
  • As for Denmark, the administrative division used in the Geo database is not relevant for genealogists.
  • The French team has made their own edition, which also deals with Portugal etc.
  • I have also seen that there are parts of Canada that are not as desired.
  • And there are probably many locations missing. This is at least the case for Denmark.

I have therefore put together a proposal for how the Geo database can be corrected, enhanced and maintained.

Note! This is my proposal. It has not been verifyed by Lagacy, nor been presented to Legacy. I will wait until I have a working prototype.

Using this tool you can correct falty coordinates for locations in the Geo database. The tool cannot change the name of the site, or place it in a different state hierarchy
