Import placelist ?

[ljhelbo]

I have imported my gedcom to Ancestris and now I have installed the geographic view plugin. The problem is howver, that I now have to enter lat/long for all the places 

But I do have a CSV-list with all parishes here in Denmark with lat/long. Is there any way to import this list to Ancestris?

Hi,
When you loaded your gedcom file for the first time, did you "open" it, or did you "import" it? It would be a good idea to import it, if this gedcom comes from another genealogy program. We have importation modules that fix different problems generated by other genealogy programs.
Something else: if your lat/long are in your original gedcom they will be kept and you should be able to see them, ONLY if they are at the right places in your gedcom file - gedcom specifications speaking -
Something else : if you fire up the geo module you will be asked if you want to update your locations by searching on the internet.
I do not know if this helps.
I've asked Frederic, the author of the geo view to add a possibility to import beside the search on the internet, a csv local list of locations. It's now on his todo list ;-)

I have been digging a bit more into it. 
The problem is that the gedcom comes from Legacy, which has its own system for places. In the main part of the gedcom, you only have something like this:

1 BIRT
2 DATE 14 Sep 1952
2 PLAC Roskilde, Sømme, Roskilde, Danmark

But then at the end, you have a series of place definiitions like this:

0 _PLAC_DEFN
1 PLAC Roskilde, Sømme, Roskilde, Danmark
2 ABBR Roskilde, Sømme, Roskilde, Danmark
2 MAP
3 LATI N55.6023483333333
3 LONG E12.1490047222222
2 _RESOLVED 1

which is off course not recognized, no matter if I open or import

Yeap, because we don't have an import plugin for Legacy, but I'm gonna ask Frédéric who has written most of all import plugins.
I suppose if he agree to write a specific plugin for Legacy, he will be able to add such a function to add the lat. and long. parameters for each places that match each _PLAC_DEFN tag.

Maybe we can add a function to the plugin to add those lat. and long. info for each place.
