==== Gathering Headstone Images via Smartphone ====

#I'''ncreased speed''' of photography - Many smart phones photograph images quickly and save images even faster than either a simple digital camera or a DSLR.  

#The phone's '''GPS organizes everything''' - It will put the photos in the correct cemetery and will GPS tag every photo's location exaclty. This feature is exciting for many reasons, such as keeping track of which headstones have been photographed already and helping descendents find the headstone should they want to visit in person. On Find A Grave you have to select which cemetery to upload your photos to after you took your camera home and transferred the photos to your computer.  

#'''Instant uploading''' - If you have a good data plan, upload images while you are taking more pictures. The phone does it for you, just set it up under the settings tab of the app. If your data plan is an issue you can simply wait until you get to WiFi, start the process, and the phone does the rest. You can even save more time by having your phone auto-delete images that have been uploaded. Even if you do not have a data plan on your smartphone or tablet, you can still upload via Wifi.
