Change Navigate the designated [[Gramps_Glossary#home_personactive_person|Home Active Person]] selection 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. An interaction in the 1.0.3 version of the Addon with the Relationship view may cause the Map to fail to focus on a new Active Person. Use the Person View or Bookmarks to navigate this selection to a different person.

== Troubleshooting ==
The objective is to find the Places of Events of Ancestors of the [[Gramps_Glossary#home_person|Home Person]]. That's 4 stages of filtering.
You can set up a [[Example_filters|multi-stage of filter]] that show shows only Places for Ancestors & [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_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.
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 addon Person General rule.
# Person custom Filter "ActiveAncestors" using [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters#Ancestral_filters|Ancestral filter]] "Ancestors of <filter> match"; filter=ActivePerson <br>''You might add a 2nd rule to include the Active Person and then select the "[[Gramps_{{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_{{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_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters#Places_Category_2|Places General filter]] "Places of events matching the <event filter>"; event filter=ActiveAncestorEvents
{{man tip| 1=Making Filters that are more reusable|2=You could built this using a Person custom filter set to the built-in Default Person (a.k.a. [[Gramps_Glossary#home_person|Home Person]]) General rule. That would more directly correspond to this add-on addon Geography view mode.<br><br>But a custom Filter using the "Active Person" add-on addon Person General rule is much more flexible. It stays synchronized to the Person being edited instead of continually resetting the Home Person designation or editting editing a rule that had been preset to a specific PersonID.<br><br>'' Download and use the incredibly useful add-on addon Person General Rule that was created in early 2020. It replaces the awkward PersonID based rules and makes Custom Filters MUCH more dynamic. Thanks Paul!''}}
