I am trying to manully enter geo-coordinates in the “Places” menue, but each time they are being re-set to zero. Can anybody give me a hint of what to do?
I’m guessing that your operating system settings may involve support for non-USA conventions that RootsMagic may conflict with (as discussed in the following thread)
Gedcom with latitude and longitude not importing in RM8 - RootsMagic - RootsMagic Community
As a sidenote, this little convention below is a bit of a timesaver, once those other issues can be tamed:

When I am unable to find the place Geo in RM (like in Europe), I use Google maps to locate the place, right click on the location, click on the coordinates (which copies it to the clipboard), then I paste it to the RM place entry latitude and hit tab (which moves the longitude to the correct data field) in RM. It sounds like a complicated move, but you get faster with experience.
