Description
Let's work together and put ALL cemetery content on the map for everyone to share.
This specialized camera app helps contributors easily capture photos of the headstones in any cemetery and upload them to the BillionGraves.com database. The app constantly updates the photo location data while you are moving from grave marker to marker. The result is that each image includes specific location data which shows where each grave is located.
Think about it: If I map my local cemeteries, perhaps someone will do the cemeteries in another part of the world. With that attitude, we will have all of the available cemetery content mapped and available for all to share.
Once the photos are published online, fellow family historians and genealogists can help transcribe the information from the headstones, making it easy to search. That easy search puts unique, previously undocumented headstone records mere mouse-clicks away from anyone looking for their ancestors. By using the iPhone’s location services, we ensure that even when descendants are half a world away, they can see cemetery information, view the actual headstones, and know exactly where those headstones are.
With the 1BGraves app you can further the BillionGraves.com effort:
- Collect headstone photos in bulk, with the location of each marker accurately captured. You can capture hundreds of images and completely map out any cemetery in a matter of minutes to hours.
- Upload those location-rich images to the BillionGraves.com database for all to share. (For security purposes, images may not be widely available for up to 24 hours.)
- Add new cemeteries to the BillionGraves.com registry. We only have a few thousand—there are many more.
