Just my two cents; I've never seen this tool work yet, so just going by what others have written. Sources: [http://gramps.1791082.n4.nabble.com/Place-Completion-Tool-td4666731.html], [https://www.reddit.com/r/gramps/comments/7q7qmy/placecompletion_tool/] Thanks, [[User:Reed|Reed]] ([[User talk:Reed|talk]]) 16:57, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
Adding my two cents as a user: I have used this extensively for the sole purpose of adding lat/lon to existing places. Places were created using the enclosed structure without lat/lon data and this tool updated the lat/lon for a large set of places (all places without a lat/lon within a US state) in one pass. In 4.2 the editing in the Actions window on MacOS did not work, which made using the tool challenging, but this was fixed in 5.x [https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=10004]. I agree that a more robust solution that can leverage the GeoNames gazetteer would be very useful. [[User:GaryGriffin|GaryGriffin]] ([[User talk:GaryGriffin|talk]])
