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 does not display places without coordinates Note that, like all [[Gramps_Template:Version manual_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category|Geography View]] modes, ONLY the Places with a defined [[Gramps_Template:Version manual_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Supported_longitude.2Flatitude_formats|Longitude & Latitude]] will be plotted. |
This [[Gramps_Template:Version manual_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category|Geography Category]] addon view mode plots tagged pins on a Map at the Places associated with Ancestors of the Home Person.
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 uses 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
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 easily done with custom filters... but it takes multiple stages.
The objective is to find the Places of Events of Ancestors of the Home Person. That's 4 stages of filtering.
You can set up a multi-stage of filter that show only Places for Ancestors & 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.
For this multi-stage custom filter, create the following Cascade of custom filters:
- Create a Person custom Filter "ActivePerson" using the "Active Person" add-on rule has many more uses.
New incredibly useful add-on Person General Rule. It replaces PersonID based rules and makes Custom Filters MUCH more dynamic. Thanks Paul! - Person custom Filter "ActiveAncestors" using [[Gramps_Template:Version manual_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters#Ancestral_filters|Ancestral filter]] "Ancestors of <filter> match"; filter=ActivePerson
You might add a 2nd rule to include the Active Person and then select the "[[Gramps_Template:Version manual_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters#Define_Filter_dialog#multiple_rule_options|At least one rule must apply]]" option. Otherwise, the Events & Places of the Active Person might be omitted - Events custom Filter "ActiveAncestorEvents" using [[Gramps_Template:Version manual_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters#Events_Category_2|Events General filter]] "Events of persons matching the <person filter>"; person filter=ActiveAncestors
- Places custom Filter "ActiveAncestorEventPlaces" using [[Gramps_Template:Version manual_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters#Places_Category_2|Places General filter]] "Places of events matching the <event filter>"; event filter=ActiveAncestorEvents
|
Making Filters that are more reusable You could have started with a Person custom filter using the built-in Default Person General rule. That would directly correspond to this Geography view mode. But a custom Filter called using the "Active Person" add-on Person General rule is much more flexible. |
