'''Ancestors Map''' is an interactive == Usage ==Before using the view, navigate to the [[Gramps_Glossary#active_person|Active Person]] you want use with the [[Gramps_{{icon|anceman version}} {{man label_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category|Geography}} category ]] Category view addon that overlays pins for certain known to map the Event Places on downloaded Map tilesassociated with a different Person's Ancestors.

== Usage = Map Pins ===Change the designated [[Gramps_Glossary#home_person|Home Person]] before changing to the [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category|Geography]] Category view to map the Event Places associated with a different Person's Ancestors.There are 4 pin types:

There are 4 pin types:<br><small>''Still looking for correct pins. The maps uses This map use left-handed versions of the normally right-handed magnifying glass.''</small>

Places of Ancestor Events that do not appear as pins on the map are probably missing the correct GPS longitude and/or longitude. Determining which Places are missing and need correction can be finicky work. This is most resolved easily done with custom filters... but it takes multiple stages.

The objective is to find the Places of Events of Ancestors of the [[Gramps_Glossary#home_person|Home Person]]. That's Which is 4 stages of filteringand installing the "[[Addon:Rule_expansions#Active_Person|Active Person]]" addon filter.

You can set up a [[Example_filters|multi-stage of filter]] that show shows only Places for Ancestors & [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#.E2.9A.99_Configuration_Options|configure the Places Category view ]] to show the Longitude & Latitude columns. This will tell you how many of Ancestor related Places will be omitted from being plotted on the map.

{{man tip| 1=Making Filters that are more reusable|2=You could have started with build this using a Person custom filter using set to the built-in builtin Default Person (a.k.a.

That would more directly correspond to this addon Geography view mode. <br><br>But a custom Filter called using the "Active Person" add-on addon Person General rule is much more flexible.
