Jenny, I just dont think that I want to create a different address for every headstone. I have a rather large database and currently have over 11,000 stones.
I think the current 'logic' of the long/lat for Burial Place just isnt taking into consideration the plotting of cemeteries. The stones are all located at 1 "Location" address. Had just been hoping that someone figured out a reasonable work around. Kinda surprising to find no one has.
