New meetinghouse locater
http://beta.maps.lds.org/
This application provides many new features not currently available in the existing application, including: A dynamic user interface (no more drop-down lists!) The ability to identify closest meetinghouses and congregations worldwide (International model) The ability to enter address information or simply point at a location on a map to get information The ability to switch between map providers Google and Microsoft to get the best map for a location The ability to switch between map and aerial/satellite views The ability to see ALL congregations at a location, not just the residential unit (e.g., Spanish, Tongan, YSA, etc.) The ability to select a ward/branch and get additional information, go to the web site, or get driving directions The ability to provide a robust feedback that can identify a variety of issues that can be tracked in Remedy The ability to send a link to a friend of a location Looks like the church has decided to go the microsoft virtual earth direction instead of google or yahoo. Way better than before. |

That's really cool, but what would be even better is if they also showed the unit boundaries.

Also, if they could map out the annoying ward members and the cool ones.

I checked it out and their locations are way off on the aerial. Another example of The Church pedaling false information.
