I have a number of places, which are not recognizable by Google such as a ships name(transportation,..) and oceans. Is there a way to eliminate these from a search?
I know a ship is registered somewhere, but I did not work in that city/country. This goes as well with immigrants(arrival by ..). or on a bus(tour guide) or on a train or airplane.

I will add options to exclude Places with Category 'TransportationFacility' and/or 'Waters'.
The real problem is that modes of transport are not exactly places but 'things' or entities. They exist at a 'place' at a particular point in time. What is required is some way of recording a trip/journey/migration. Perhaps your earlier suggestion of sub-events could help with this, with each such sub-event marking a point/place oin a journey. Hopefully this can be implemented in GenoProXBTW, I will also be adding an 'Overlapping Marker Spiderfier' feature to help with crowded markers, clicking on such a marker will cause overlapping markers to fan out so thst each can be identified by hovering over and clicked on if required.

Here is an update with 'overlapping marker spiderfier' and options to exclude places with categories Transportation Facility or Waters and as a catch all if needed, category 'Other'.
Download and unzip to any folder and open index.htm in your browser (Chrome, Firefox or Edge)

Am trying the today's update. Have hit a problem that in some cases it is not possible to remove the geocoding. I can drag the location to a new position and use reset to return to the original but clicking on remove coding, no confirmation menu. Can remove after this.
Have moved the problem into the North Sea

Another location problem - although in GenoPro but revealed using Geocoder. I am looking at unresolved locations and see the location. I can use the original data to search and the result appears in the table in Places and Locations. First problem is that this is not linked to anywhere useful. In my first case I searched a report and found the text appeared as the location on the Union tab
Now looking at another report and the search finds the site in the left of the page but it does not appear in the right hand panel.
I can obviously use a text search but hope there is an easier way

re 'Remove Geocoding' issue. Just wondering if there is any error indication on the Chrome Developers Tools Console? (F12). If not, did you inadvertently click the box for 'Prevent this page displaying additional dialogs' ? If so you will need to close that tab and reopen it to recover the prompts.
Not sure what you mean regarding your 2nd location isue. Left and Right panels? is this the Narrative Report? or maybe a GenoPro 'stray object' ? (see Table Layout -> Delete -> Stray Objects)

Am using Firefox, so not sure what to do. F12 does show code.
The two entries I could not remove are now with green markers and show options Reset or Remove Geocoding. Clicking Remove Geocode has no effect. Reset does, which means I have 'lost' that record back to its original position. Will have to try to find it. somehow.
The panels are those of the Narrative Report. However I am now looking at the xml export to track down problems. Melbourne Australia in Scotland is easy to deal with and this showed a green icon at Hadfield, which is in Derbyshire.
Using the xml report to identify Places is not an obvious way to go, so any suggestions on how to find where a Place occurs, so it can be identified, will be useful, particularly to others not familiar with the xml structure.
Finally a question about how the classification takes place. It did not find Melbourne, Australia or Toronto, Canada but simple Hadfield was placed in Australia. I would have thought that would have been a query, so how to identify similar Problems?
Having quibbled about this there is no doubt that this an extremely useful addition to GenoPro.
One option to consider is to focus on the queries by also suppressing green icons. I find it useful to process a small number before the map gets cluttered. Dealing with over 1000 place names

Just moved Vancouver from the middle of Scotland to the Canadian west coast, where I found an icon for Brixton, Surrey. Thought this was stupid until I zoomed in to locate Vancouver and found a suburb of Surrey.
Then looked in the xml and the place has the following code, with new co-ordinates.
<Place ID="place00074">
<Name>Brixton, Surrey</Name>
<Country>U.K.</Country>
<Latitude>49.1120433</Latitude>
<Longitude>-122.82266930000003</Longitude>
</Place>
So the Country is there but ignored. Can it be forced to look for it?

Just tried a test to see if it is possible to encourage Google to find places. Using my two state capitals it did not find I created a dummy file with Toronto, Canada; Australia and Melbourne, parent place Australia. Both ended up in the default location of the Scottish Uplands.
So I now will need to check all locations, including ones Google thinks it knows ie green markers.
To make this easier (I have a bad memory of what I have done) it would be useful if, when a green marker is Confirmed location it joined the blue group and disappeared from display.
Confirmation of yellow markers would be safer as two stage change; yellow to green and second confirmation to blue.
Finally to stop overload of the display an option to pause (Halt is the option at present) after a set number of markers (green and yellow) are displayed
