About this app

Users can locate gravesites and other points of interest throughout the cemetery, generate front-and-back pictures of a marker or monument, and receive step-by-step directions to these locations. The app also provides emergency and event notifications and the ability to share on popular social media sites. Users can save favorite places in My Content to create their own custom walking tours.

Ratings and reviews

"Search unavailable - network connection failed". There is an error, but the problem isn't a network connection. I have full signal bars: enough to download the app, and to leave this review. I tried this morning and a few hours later, same result. The place is great and the staff are wonderful. This app didn't work at all for searching for a grave location.

Concept is excellent. Implementation is lacking. Find a Gravesite feature is nice. I helped someone locate a gravesite number. But actually pinpointing the location on the map didn't work. That's a needed feature. Explore Map was awful. Every time it started zoomed out to world view and slowly zoomed in. But instead of zooming in to my location, it zoomed to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Selecting Satellite or Street view produced the opposite results.

Mixed bag. App worked well enough that I could find my departed friend. Section and grave number, mapped location. When at ANC, inside perimeter, app would not provide any information on individual grave location. App behaved as if geo-blocked. The app did provide information on primary points of interest such as monuments and the Tomb of the Unknowns.
