What map book shows all the New Testament places quickly and easily? Syrian Phoenicia was hard to find. As was Magadan.
I don't think there is one. Most display subsets of places. But even several detailed maps need to be reviewed sometimes. And that's ignoring most smaller locations are guesses, all the way back to Eusebius' volume.
https://www.logos.com/product/7298/holman-book-of-biblical-charts-maps-and-reconstructions
is one of the more detailed.
https://www.logos.com/product/201697/understanding-the-new-testament-an-introductory-atlas
has the locations from a Hellenistic perspective (greek names).
You can do a search to see all the maps in your library that show a place #image EQUALS tag:map AND Magadan
Logos has never had a good atlas where you can right-click a place name in the text and see a relevant map even when you're offline.
You'll probaby need to buy a decent atlas with an index where you can look up the place name and find the one you want, e.g. Rasmussen, Carl G. Zondervan Atlas of the Bible. Revised Edition. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2010.
Your first named place I will treat in the second part of my response to your questions as it required more specialized snooping to develop an answer.
Magadan is also known as Magdala and I found a nice map in my https://www.logos.com/product/166061/crossway-esv-bible-atlas?queryId=634d16978b84f2d19bcefe2dce590254
I won't bore you with the details of how I managed to find the answer to your other question, the key is knowing the history. Phoenicia at the time of the Roman Era was part of the Syrian province; I found a nice map depicting the relationship in my https://www.logos.com/product/121690/the-new-moody-atlas-of-the-bible?queryId=8c002ca86c746fc4a5d8a1f2deab4f8d
BTW, I highly recommend the two fine atlases I featured in my response, the text is highly informative and accurate and the maps are first rate.
No book could ever beat the old Logos 2.0 Atlas stand alone software. You could choose what cities you wanted to see, in which era, and it would bring it up. You could then click the city and it was linked to a bible dictionary. It was functional and fun to use.
Honestly, this is an area where Logos could greatly improve.
I wish they would do this again. How helpful that would be! A while go, while reading through Deuteronomy, I wanted to look up the places mentioned in the beginning. And it so incredibly clunky and difficult. It always wants to zoom way way way in, and then you can't see any of the other places. Very disappointing and really makes the tool useless.
Agreed. Improvement is needed
I think we have enough 'evidence' to support the proposition, 'FL can't.' I just don't think they can. They're a text/database company that loves 'neato'. It's in their corporate blood (heritage).
The irony at least for me, is growing up in church-going, imagery was core. Where? When? Looked like?
But not at FL.
I guess that ESRI and some universities would be happy to co-operate and develop timeline-atlas with Logos.
As an example https://liveuamap.com/
I am in violent agreement. 🙂
Some of us have been advocating for over a decade for this. As pleased as I am about the new tab panel improvements, I would love to see some serious improvements to mapping, timelines, or text comparison, etc.

I agree. Sadly this has been raised over and over the years, but it appears to not be on the radar.
Why when I misspell a word in sermon writer it no longer can suggest a correct spelling? Its been about three weeks that I have had this problem. Am I the only one????? I am on a MS machine. Often, my mistakes are because I actually can't spell the word. I checked and spell check is working on this forum, why not in the…
how do I from this iPad access my total library, not just what I have on this iPad . So I can get more of my books on this iPad
I have set up a non-public group with another Logos user and would like to exchange documents in a simple way. I have the following (initial) questions: 1. Where can I find a more comprehensive guide to this feature? The help function is still politely described as “rudimentary” ;-) 2. how can I share many documents (my…
@Mark Barnes (Logos) My profile currently shows I am set up to auto-renew at the end of next year but the price shown indicates it will auto-renew for only one year. I would like to be able to preset the option the renew for two full years instead of only one (assuming I don't turn it off). Is that something Logos is…
I'm looking for a similar function in Logos that doesn't need me to click the copy button in the "Copy Bible Verses" function but can just use my keyboard. In Olive Tree Bible study for Windows, I have the following option in the settings. It changes what I do when I select a text and press CTRL +C. E.g. If I select "In…
