For sometime I've noticed that when I import many conventional data using ProScan or FreeScan, lat/long information will be displayed as blank, or now 0.00.
I've depicted one incidence below.

Importing from RadioReference.
That's strange. This is what I see returned from the RRDB.
7693,Appomattox County,,,0
The lat & long are missing. They should appear before the 0 in the above.

Appomattox was an example. Below are what I identified this week. Anecdotally this only seems to occur with conventional systems.

If you take a look at the subcategory report for the Appomattox County subcategory, you'll notice that the geodata is (Inherited) from the county itself:
That's also why you see (County) on the subcategory details page:
There are several places we can enter geodata. For conventional frequencies, the geodata exists at both the County level as well as the Subcategory level. If you don't explicitly enter geodata at the subcategory level, it will automatically inherit the higher level, which is the county.
It appears that inherited geodata does not make its way into the API, which is probably why it's coming up as 0.

So, should I be looking to RR to make modifications or software developers to make changes and do I need to do anything?If you take a look at the subcategory report for the Appomattox County subcategory, you'll notice that the geodata is (Inherited) from the county itself:

I will add that when experimenting, a favorites list imported from Sentinel has the lat/long data.
This is fixed. Will be in the next release.
I think you're frequently told so, but I'll tell you again - Thanks. You provide unparalleled support for your program.
