-[http://www.billiongraves.com BillionGraves] is a newer site that allows users to download an app for their iPhone or Android device (for Android users, the website will indicate which Android devices do NOT work with their app), then go out to a cemetery and take pictures of the headstones. The app tags the photos with the GPS location, thus it effectively maps the cemetery, which makes it easy to find the location on the web or on the smartphone app. This site is very new, so coverage is not to the level of Find A Grave or Interment.net, but thousands of headstones are photographed and uploaded every week to the site.
