Locations & Mapping

History doesn't just happen in a time; it happens in a place. TimeWrit's Location system handles the complexities of geography over time. ### Historical Aliases Borders move and names change. TimeWrit allows you to define **Aliases** with date ranges. - *Example*: A location might be "Konigsberg" until 1946, and "Kaliningrad" thereafter. - When an event occurs, TimeWrit automatically displays the name that was correct for that specific date. > [!IMPORTANT] > **Geocoding**: Ensure your locations have GPS coordinates to unlock the **Map View** in the main timeline. > [!TIP] > **Location Hierarchy**: Organize locations geographically (e.g., "USA > Arizona > Cochise County > Tombstone"). Events linked to "Tombstone" will automatically appear when you filter for any of the parent locations.
