Jerusalem is missing!
Is there some reason why Jerusalem is missing from the Atlas?

I would have sworn I answered this a day or two ago by showing that Jerusalem did appear in the same map in my installation. I can make it come and go by changing the zoom and/or by changing the overlays.

This is what I find so disappointing about Atlas. When I type Jerusalem, the map zooms in and the locator circle flashes somewhere between Mt Ephron and Mt of Olives as the place name is absent.

I wasn't even specifically looking for Jerusalem at this time. I was looking at Amos 1:1 and over the word "Amos" was the marker for the Atlas. So I clicked on that, since verse 1 mentions Tekoa and I wanted to see "map-wise" where Tekoa was. Yes, I know it is about 10 miles from Jerusalem. I actually have hiked there. So I was just surprised that Jerusalem was not even listed.
And MJ., even though I zoomed in the maximum amount allowed, Jerusalem never appeared. Mount of Olives did, but never Jerusalem! And when I zoomed out the maximum amount, Jerusalem never appeared.
Since Jerusalem/Zion is a major key repeated word, this should not missing from the Atlas.

Maybe we are closer than we think.
Rev_3:12 The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.
Rev_21:2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev_21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,

I would like to know the answer to this question!
Why on earth does every other city appear and Jerusalem does not? It does not matter how deep I scroll, nor punch in the name, a red circle appears as a flash where it ought to be, WHY IS IT NOT THERE??

Maybe it was not big enough at that time, so it comes up if you zoom.
Or it was once again destroyed in the time frame you have selected.

And I'd like to know why the rotation of the moon is timed just right for us to only see one side of the moon. In other words, you have asked the question ... in the next few days Logos may or may not answer -- but repeated asking doesn't increase your chances. If another user gave an answer, it would simply be their educated guess. But if you flip through the maps below it, it appears that most cities that appear have an event marker i.e. something in the time frame of the map occurred there. Does one of these other maps better fulfill your needs?

Here it is
That is the bottom right border of the Atlas window for "David establishes the worship of Yahweh in Jerusalem", which was the first result which should show the City. But a better result is "Abram and the Four Kings"! or "David moves to Jerusalem"

Thank you MJ, my apologies if further enquiry was frustrating to you. Others provided helpful responses.

I apologize that my frustration showed. I try to read nearly every post and there were multiple threads in a row where forumites were repeatedly asking for same information. My frustration was general, not specific to you.

Oh, just great. Now Galilee is missing. Spoiler Alert: It can been found, but Logos won't do it for you.
So I am reading along, and decide to hunt up Galilee. No special reason.
Right-click Galilee in the Bible text.
Hunt around this menu and that, left and right and find it! "Place"
Click place and notice that Atlas pops up somewhere over on the right way up at the top.
I click atlas.
Logos search sends me this:
So, I maximize my window and get this:

I'm starting to wonder if they're still adaquately staffed. And even with new subscription revenue, they'll need to concentrate on new, not old.
I also wonder, when they designed map-attempt #4 (Atlas #2), whether staff didn't immediately notice it couldn't do maps very well.

I'm constantly disappointed at the lack of usefulness in the Atlas tool. I'm reading in second Kings and wanted to get a quick idea of the geographic relationship between Syria and Assyria. Fortunately there was a map icon right on the chapter I was reading. Surely that would be helpful, right? Not so much. Clicking it brings up the atlas centered on a large area of nothing. I have to scroll over to where the relevant areas are and then all I see are a few city dots. What Atlas really needs is some basic concepts. Whenever I click on an icon in the text the Atlas should come up with easily selectable maps showing:
1) A political map of the region during the time of the passage
2) A detailed map of any nation mentioned in that text
3) A detailed map of any city or other location mentioned in that text
4) Maps of any movements or significant events that happened in that passage
5) Maps that show any changes to borders and such that happened during that passage (where available)
6) Maps that reveal the geography of the region/nation/city in the text
7) The big dream is some kind of direct link to other resources such as Carta that takes me to relevant maps there as well. I could see loosing hours in such a feature if it is simple and accurate.
Which of these is the default would hopefully be based on the text, but barring that I would default to #1 and just make the others easy to access on a menu. I know this is likely a hopeless dream, but I love maps enough to keep asking!
