FindAGrave iPhone app

I have my iPhone (and will be upgrading to the iPhone 4) pretty much everywhere I go and have incorporated it into my genealogy workflow. It is a truly amazing jumble of electronics and despite the big brother attitude of Apple developers are constantly designing new tools to enhance your life on most every way. There are a handful of genealogy apps available in the iTunes store; some are worth the purchase and others haven’t been updated much since they were released. Missing entirely though is an app for FindAGrave.com. So I got to thinking about what I would want such an app to do and thought I’d share.

First off I’d love a GPS locator feature that would allow me to get directions to a cemetery, mark the location of cemeteries and to mark the locations of individual graves within a cemetery.

Secondly, a must have feature would be the ability to upload photos of cemeteries and gravestones.

Third, a no brainer, the ability to create new entries.

Lastly, an alert that lets you know if you are near a cemetery that has unfulfilled photo requests.

I saw a post somewhere a while back about a possible findagrave app, so if anyone out there is reading this that is an iPhone developer that can make this happen or if you own an iPhone and would be interested in such an app leave a comment.
