== What is a Place? ==
Use the [[Place completion tool]] to help automate the management of your places, as this allows you to edit several places in one go. It is also an easy way to determine and include latitude and longitude of cities and towns.

== Organising your places Places ==
There are several ways you could organise your places. The concept of a place in genealogy is very complex, due both to the level of detail you wish to capture, and the changes over time to the name of a place. Ultimately how much of this complexity you record in your database is up to you, but you will probably find it advantageous to consider your options before you have too many places in your data.
Some people ensure the ''Place Name'' field has everything they want, and they leave the Location tab empty.
== The Future future ==
The developers have indicated that they believe the handling of places in GRAMPS could be improved, but as the current system is adequate and there many higher priority tasks, a reworking of the places in GRAMPS is not likely to happen for some time. Also, see [[GEPS_006:_Better_Place_handling|GEPS006 Better Place handling]].
