Please please could GR urge people to add more than just town or village name. It's so tedious to have to hunt up these faraway places on Google Maps when trawling through 100 Hot Matches.

I'm an Australian researcher with ancestors from England, Ireland, Wales, Germany, Poland. I'm getting pretty good at identifying where places are. Please put a state/county or at least country. It would help us all so much. Besides there are many place names repeated in England, USA, Australia, Canada, even South Africa.
