This [[Gramps_Template:Version manual_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category|Geography Category]] add-on view mode plots tagged pins on a Map at the Places associated with Ancestors of the Home Person.

This is a Third-party Addon. The Addon/Plugin system is controlled by the Plugin Manager. Please use carefully on data that is backed up, and help make it better by reporting any issues to the bug tracker. |

View omits Places without coordinates Note that, as all [[Gramps_Template:Version manual_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category|Geography View]] modes, ONLY the Places with a defined Longitude & Latitude will be plotted. |
Ancestors Map is an interactive 
Geography category view addon that overlays pins for certain known Places on downloaded Map tiles.
Usage
Change the designated Home Person before changing to the [[Gramps_Template: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:
Still looking for correct pins. The maps us left-handed versions of the normally right-handed magnifying glass.
Pin Description Place types 
Zoom-in Magnifying glass Places with Birth Events 
Zoom-out Magnifying glass Places with Death Events 
Magnifying glass pins with an X Places with Marriage Events 
Green Push pins Places with multiple Event types
Right-click on a map pin to reveal a pop-up menu listing the Events & People at that Place.
Troubleshooting
You can set up a multi-stage of filter that show only Places for Ancestors & configure the Places view to show the Longitude & Latitude. This will tell you how many of Ancestor related Places will be omitted from being map plotted.
For this multi-stage custom filter, I create the following Cascade of custom filters:
1) Person custom Filter "ActivePerson" using the "Active Person" add-on rule. (New incredibly useful add-on Rule. It makes Filters MUCH more dynamic. Thanks Paul!)
2) Person custom Filter "ActiveAncestors" using Ancestral filter "Ancestors of <filter> match"; filter=ActivePerson {You might add a 2nd rule to include the Active person where "At least one rule must apply". Otherwise, the Events & Places of the Active Person might be omitted}
3) Places custom Filter "ActiveAncestorEvents" using General filter "Events of persons matching the <person filter>"; person filter=ActiveAncestors
4) Places custom Filter "ActiveAncestorEventPlaces" using General filter "Places of events matching the <event filter>"; event filter=ActiveAncestorEvents
