Map does not load, not useful for finding graves

Functions wont load

Finding member and gravesite photo was immediate, but on site the map won't load. Written directions are inaccurate to location and do not give a row identifier

Back Button Would be great

Decent enough app, but the lack of a back button is annoying

Problems with App

This app needs a lot of work. For example: 1) Unable to delete duplicate entries in My Content. 2) Start Tour function doesn’t work.
And that’s just for starters. At least I can find the grave sites with the app.
