Russ, Let’s say you’ve just entered into FTM, while in the People workspace, a location-related fact, such as the residence of a person. Because there are numerous errors in FTM 2014's application of the Place Name Authority, I find it advisable to check whether the PNA has properly located the place geographically on the map. After entering the fact in the People workspace, one way of doing this is to click on the tab for the Places workspace, then locate the place name of interest in the list of place names. This is a rather tedious process when one is entering a large group of facts at numerous locations. It would be much more straight forward if one could click on the place name in the Place line of the fact in the People workspace and then have the location displayed on a map in the Places workspace. I was hoping FTM 2014 might provide this functionality, but I haven't been able to find it, if it does.

My question involves FTM 2014 navigation. In the People workspace under the Person tab, how can one easily get to a map showing the location of a place-related fact? If you are map a PERSON, why not do that in the Places Workspace, selecting Person ? Russ

Jim, As you Enter Place names, you have a visual indication IF that place name is in the PNA format. It's easy to see it and deal with it, right then and there (if you chose) IF you are entering a place name that is IN the right format, it will be presented to you to select. I rarely go to the Place workspace while doing data entry. I do check it a couple of times, especially IF I need to use the Place Detail screen.  Russ ___________________________ Mailto:rworthington@att.net From: Jim Hoke <j12251225@gmail.com> To: ftm-tech@rootsweb.com Cc: 'H R Worthington' <rworthington@att.net> Sent: Friday, March 27, 2015 8:49 PM Subject: RE: [FTM-TECH] Resolving place names (from the thread Program crashes when resolving place names) Russ, Let’s say you’ve just entered into FTM, while in the People workspace, a location-related fact, such as the residence of a person.  Because there are numerous errors in FTM 2014's application of the Place Name Authority, I find it advisable to check whether the PNA has properly located the place geographically on the map.  After entering the fact in the People workspace, one way of doing this is to click on the tab for the Places workspace, then locate the place name of interest in the list of place names.  This is a rather tedious process when one is entering a large group of facts at numerous locations.
