Hi Bill,
Thanks for helping. I did not notice there were more possibilities. You must
have added some, in my Guide 7 they lacked (I just tried) and I have not yet
installed Guide 8 on all computers.
I used Valencia only because that was an example.
There are always hamlets which are not on the list...although Heavens Above
even has Benitachell where I do most of my observing. (Not perfect as the
hill my house is on is 3 miles away and I do not know which location in
Benitachell they picked, but probably accurate enough. That's another way to
get your coordinates fast and accurate, folks!)
Still, there are wishes like locations of COAA in Portugal, Albert Jansen's
place in SAfrica, Star Hill in Mexico and so on.
Can we edit the list if we wish? Where is it?

Hi Siebren,
One can find the locations you mention... but you have to be a bit
more specific. Click on "Settings... Location... Enter Location Name",
and you can enter
Valencia, Spain
Brooklyn, NY
Valencia, CA (to find the Valencia in California)
Valencia Venezuela
Valencia (which just finds the one in Venezuela)
and so on. You can omit the commas, and uppercase versus
lowercase doesn't matter (you could enter "brooklyn ny").
