 *Conversion of latitude and longitude to a fixed data format. On import one might obtain latitude and longitude in several different formats. A conversion tool to store them all in the same format is useful.

 While updating all places in step 2, you will have noticed some errors in the state information: Some places have a dubious state: eg OH-AL
-You can obtain these states by choosing ''All Places'' en setting the state search box to '''-'''. Clicking Find will give you all these problem places. You can use google maps or the place dialog to sort them out. You can also use the USA country GeoNames file to search these places in the entire USA. You will need sufficient memory for this, or you will obtain a MemoryError (see below)!

 We will now show how the places in this file can be completed. The best thing to do is open a new family tree (.grdb), give it a name, and import the example.gramps file. This file has 852 places, which would mean a lot of manual edits if you do not use this tool!

-*Place/Location is a newer concept in GRAMPS. Many older databases only have a Place title field which is a descriptive text containing city, state, country. This should be parsed to insert the values in the correct attribute fields.
