Graveyard Navigator

Description

A mobile application that provides two forms of navigation assistance at a cemetery. First, the app allows the user to search for a deceased person by name and receive walking directions to their gravesite. Second, when a particular grave is selected, the app displays connecting lines on the map to the graves of other family members who are buried at the same cemetery.
