Andrew I raised this shortly after the site was created some time back. As was pointed out, the locations in uploaded Gedcoms are listed in a variety of formats and that makes it very difficult to implement the idea. It is annoying when many people fail to give the location in the form 'town, county' ... many fail to realise that there are usually other towns with the same name around the country. More and more I'm finding it too hard to search for possible links, especially with 400 names in my tree.
