*Place/Location is a newer concept in GRAMPS. Many older databases only have a Place title field which is a descriptive text containing city, state, country. This should be parsed to insert the values in the correct attribute fields.
*Latitude and longitude are important to show data on a map. However, doing a look-up of this data on the internet is slow and time consuming. The tool allows to search in the free resources on the net.
*Setting of an attribute of a set of places in one go. Eg you give a *Conversion of latitude and longitude to a fixed data format.

A conversion tool to store them all in the same format is usefulluseful.*Construction of a uniform title/description field, from the data in the place object.
