 ===== Navigation Settings =====
 These settings change how the geographic navigation will be displayed.
-==== Number of Columns ====
-This is the number of columns that will be used when displaying all the region or sub region choices.  The default value is 2 columns.
-==== Show Listing Counts ====
-The number of classifieds or auctions found in a region can be displayed beside the region when browsing geographic navigation regions, according to the setting set here.
-==== Show Sub-Regions ====
-Similar to how category navigation can display sub-categories, you can elect to show one sub-region level below the current geographic navigation regions.
-==== Region Tree Display ====
-This setting dictates how (if at all) the currently selected region is displayed above the Geographic Navigation.  None obviously hides the currently selected region, compact makes it only show the furthest selected region and a link to clear the selection, and full breadcrumb shows the full breadcrumb.
 ==== Combine with Category Breadcrumb ====
-If this option is turned on, where it displays the category breadcrumb, it will prepend the breadcrumb with the currently selected Geographic Navigation location.  You may wish to enable this option and turn [[#Region Tree Display]] to **none**.
+If this option is turned on, where it displays the category breadcrumb, it will prepend the breadcrumb with the currently selected Geographic Navigation location.
 ==== Show in Module Search Box 1 ====
-If this option is turned on, it will display category navigation drop-down in the search box 1 module, exactly like it displays on the advanced search form.  The drop-downs will have the currently selected navigation location pre-selected, something that is not always done in other areas.
+If this option is turned on, it will display category navigation dropdowns in the search box 1 module.  The dropdowns will have the currently selected navigation location pre-selected, something that is not always done in other areas.
 ==== Show listing's region in Title Module ====
@@ Line 39: / Line 28: @@
 If this option is enabled, and the user is currently viewing listings for a specific geographic navigation location, it will display the current selection in the title module similar to how the category being browsed is displayed in the title module.
-===== Geographic Location in Registration Data =====
+==== Allow Legacy (Geographic Navigation 4.x) URLs ====
-These settings are synonymous with the main [[admin_menu/listing_setup/fields_to_use/start]] settings, as it pertains to information collected during user registration.
+If enabled, non-SEO-rewritten URLs in the old (pre-GeoCore) style will be 301 redirected to their corresponding locations in the new region system. This is primarily useful for sites with links to old region pages indexed on search engines who want to preserve those indexes to the new URLs. For sites that did not upgrade from pre-GeoCore, this setting has no useful effect.
+==== Number of Columns ====
+This is the number of columns that will be used when displaying all the region or sub region choices.  The default value is 2 columns.
+==== Show Listing Counts ====
+The number of classifieds or auctions found in a region can be displayed beside the region when browsing geographic navigation regions, according to the setting set here.
+**use_cat_counts=1**
+**Parameter added in version 6.0.7**
+This is a parameter that can be added to the navigation tag in your templates.  When the //Show Listing Counts// is set to display listing counts, and this is added to the navigation tag, when the user is browsing a specific category the counts will reflect only listings in that category.
+Example tag with parameter added:
+<code html>{addon author='geo_addons' addon='geographic_navigation' tag='navigation' use_cat_counts=1}</code>
+Without this parameter added, the listing counts will be for listings in the specific region in all categories.
+==== Show Sub-Regions ====
+Similar to how category navigation can display sub-categories, you can elect to show one sub-region level below the current geographic navigation regions.
-==== Use ====
+==== Automatically assign visitors' regions based on their IPs ====
-If this is checked, during user registration or when displaying/editing user details, it will use Geographic Navigation tied to the user.  If used, and the user selects the region they are in, when that user places a listing the Geographic Navigation drop-downs will be pre-populated, and will be able to change on a per listing basis to be different than info tied to User info.
+This will read a new visitor's IP address and then attempt to automatically assign him to the correct country based on his physical location.
-====Require ====
+Using this feature requires that you register for a free API key with ipinfodb.com.
-If [[#Use]] is un-checked, **this setting does not apply**.  If checked, when the user registers or edits user data, they are required to select at least the top level region.
-==== Require Full Location Depth ====
-If [[#Use]] is un-checked, **this setting does not apply**.  If checked, the user can't stop on a region if that region has any sub-regions under it.  They must keep selecting sub-region levels until they get to a region that has no sub-regions attached to it.  Note that if [[#Require]] is un-checked, and this setting is checked, the user would be allowed to not select any location at all, but if they did select a location the above mentioned restrictions would be in effect.
