Map Information
Purpose
The map information tab uses GPS co-ordinates to show the physical Location on an embedded Google map. A printout can be produced to assist families in finding the grave, crypt or cremation memorial within the grounds. The location co-ordinates and Google map images can be passed to integrated website or kiosk deceased search functions.
Entering GPS Co-ordinates
The change function allows you to interact with the location pin marker on the screen and drag it to the correct placement; the GPS longitude and latitude co-ordinates change correspondingly. The initial co-ordinates are determined by the map entries in the location hierarchy, starting with the Site and then Area records, so if previously empty, the pin marker for the location is positioned in the correct general area of the grounds.
If using a GPS-enabled mobile device, you can be in the grounds and select change on the map information screen, then use the Get Current Location button to determine the longitude and latitude co-ordinates. The accuracy of the co-ordinates is dependent on the device used.
