When linking to a place, it would be nice to add a title, description, some photos, and even a map.

A place could be the old family house, a church where someone got married, or the village or parish on a census.  Being able to add a description and some historic photos would be very nice.

Also, for places, it would be great if we could hyperlink to a Google map, or some other such map.  In the UK, we would use www.streetmap.co.uk.  Any hyperlink would meet the basic requirement, but use the Latitude/Longitude would be a real smart move!

BTW. Which version of genopro are you using?

So, have you seen all the options and description details in places...

Descriptions etc.... even Latitude and Longitude.

Only thing which might be added is option in report generator to use coordinates fields to create a hyperlink to Worldwind or Google earth ... or Streetmap if it's possible...

I am looking forward to using the ability to map places.  Right clicking on a Place within the dialogue allows the insertion of  latitude and longitude.  I have a small sample of it's use at http://familytrees.genopro.com/poolzone/test3/ The integration is not yet dynamic, but hopefully will be able to be in the future. These maps could hopefully be inserted within the report generator via a map icon in the future.

Thank you maru-san. I also have an example under http://familytrees.genopro.com/poolzone/test2/ using Google Maps and if I get enough time should be able to integrate coordinates using API and then insert the map on demand given any Place reference within the report. However I must balance available time against the value of the outcome.  I will further investigate "thinkgeo" as you suggest.

When I list placenams on the report, what I get it very minimal – just a list of who lived there    I’m very new to this version so maybe a little naïve, but I expected better.  Having taken the trouble to add latitude and longitude and comments (to Birkenhead), I was looking forward to see a map and the information reported, but nothing!  I have now discovered how to add pictures, and by use of the custom tags I can also add other detail.  However, a dynamic link to a mapping web site is still sadly beyond me reach.

I have managed to add maps as pictures, but not as good as http://www.google.com/maps

How can I get the entered information repored better?. 

At this stage Genopro have thoughtfully included the fields longitude and latitude for inclusion. They were placed there as a request from a Forum member. The development of the Report Generator to output the results from this information will surely follow. In the following link click on the words above the map....LAUNCESTON MAP. If there is enough request for this it is a rough example of what we should be able to achieve on all Place names in the future. http://familytrees.genopro.com/poolzone/test/ Note: I mean a very ROUGH example.
