Google maps locations.

Viesti Kirjoittaja barbieri1 »

It seems that Google maps is having a problem posting locations in my Bettola 2020 tree. Funny how I visit those places every two year. It is also funny the Italian road touring guide that I use at time has those location. Also how is it that Navtec of Garmin has those locations. I think you need to find a better map service. About 90 plus of my locations are not found. I use verified locations on a timeline.

This is because the place names are not entered has it is intended.

For example:

- "Pradovera, Provincia di Piacenza, Ducato di Parma, Italia.", "Piacenza", "Emilia-Romagna, "Italia" should be "Pradovera", "Piacenza", "Emilia-Romagna, "Italia"
- "Parrocchia di Pradello, Provincia di Piacenza, Ducato di Par", "Piacenza", "Emilia-Romagna", "Italia" should be "Pradello", "Piacenza", "Emilia-Romagna", "Italia"
- "Groppo Ducale, Italia", "Piacenza", "Emilia-Romagna", "Italia" should be "Groppo Ducale", "Piacenza", "Emilia-Romagna", "Italia"
- etc.

You can edit the place names at https://gw.geneanet.org/barbieri1_w?m=MOD_DATA&data=place

Unfortunately I use location in use at time period in question. Before 1870 Piacenza was a Provincia di Ducato di Parma. Emilia-Romagna was not established then. My research reflects locations at the time period or timeline. All Italian records reflect locations at the time. Before 1870 it is Provincia di Piacenza, Ducato di Parma, Italia. After 1870 location names changed. The is the year Italy became a unified country. Sorry I am not going to change how I show location. Google maps does not show all locations in the Bettola area. I have told them about it and they appear to not care. There are better map providers. So before 1870 locations are RECORDED in documents one way. After 1870 the same location is recorded another way.

You should try:

- "Pradovera, Provincia di Piacenza, Emilia-Romagna, Italia (Ducato di Parma)" instead of "Pradovera, Provincia di Piacenza, Ducato di Parma, Italia"
- etc.

In regards to place locations using google maps. I use historical place names. Piacenza and Parma was at one time like before 1860 one province. Emilia-romagna was not identified as such. The same occurs in the .United States. Using google maps will negate people’s work.

The techincians have already made some corrections for you. Please give a list of places as you enter them with their Google Maps location, and I'll ask them to make the corrections again.

After much consideration I am of the opinion that google maps is not the way to go. It is cheap but not accurate.
