Have you ever been on vacation and wanted to know where the closest LDS Church is? How about moving to a new area and wondering to which ward you belong, to which building you should go and what time are services?
The IT team for the church has just released a beta version of their new mapping application. This will eventually replace the current “Meetinghouse Locator.”
Check it out. It’s nicely done. Even if you don’t know an address, you can “Place a Marker” (click the icon on the top left of the map and then click on your desired location) and it will figure it all out for you. It provides surrounding meetinghouses and all the wards that meet at each location as well as contact information. It will also identify to which ward that location is assigned (even gives you language and YSA wards).
Under the hood, it can either use Google Maps or Microsoft’s Live Maps.
Well done guys!
