General Information

In 1978, our Department of Defense started to create a network of 24 satellites intended for military applications. This was called the Global Positioning System (GPS). They wanted to give field soldiers the ability to tell where they were located, in what direction they were going, and how far they had to go.  The satellite network was completed in 1994. In the 1980's, the government made it available for civilian use. 

Detailed cemetery finding maps can be drawn by using these GPS Latitude & Longitude values, but you'll need to use a map drawing program like StreetAtlas or  Microsoft Streets & Trips.  There are also on-line map drawing services, but most do not allow you to input Latitude x Longitude values or produce detailed maps.
