PodcastPodcast: A Hallway Conversation with Philip O'Doherty, CEO, eSpatial

Off the Beaten Path

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has a Nationwide Gravesite Locator that can be accessed via your computer or your mobile device. It allows you to look up the gravesites of veterans based on their name. If you use your computer, you get the basic address of the grave, and you can view a scanned map of the graveyard. The mobile app doesn't give you that option, but it does give you enough info to find a gravesite (e.g. "Buried at: Section 34 Site 3594 Arlington National Cemetery). The map below shows Arlington National Cemetery. Click for larger image.
