It would be a great help if a background image could be added to the GenoMap. In my genealogy research, I often print out maps of localities and use pushpins to pinpoint where people lived at a given "slice" of time. This helps me better understand and analyze the family relationships I am researching in a given area. Imagine being able to create a new GenoMap, with say a map of Washington DC as it's background. You could then hyperlink individuals from your other GenoMaps and place people where they physically lived on that map. You could do new GenoMaps over time, say a map for 1850, 1860, etc, showing where people lived, who lived near them, etc. The hyperlink would function like my pushpins, but far more powerfully because so much information could be linked to that specific place in time by that particular individual. This feature would allow researchers to better analyze family data based on spatial context. I have tried to do something similar with Google Maps, but just like the pushpins on my paper map, I have to go back to my research to understand what that pushpin is referencing. With GenoPro you could have access to all that data in one setting. I imagine this would have uses for other types of researchers as well, where spacial data would lead to enhanced analysis of relational and emotional data. GenoPro is an amazing visual research tool. I have used it exclusively for over eight years now. I think it is leaps and bounds above other all the other genealogy software options available because I can see families and see relationships between individuals. I look forward to what developers have in store with future versions.

This facility is already available using the primary picture of a label (stretch label to cover whole genomap). If you are still using GenoPro 2.0.1.6 I suggest you download the latest version (currently 2.5.3.3) from www.genopro.com. 

The feature is presently described under version 2.5.0.3 on this page www.genopro.com/monica but hopefully will be moved to the main help pages soon.
