This was the last of the 4 apps we decided to do, and the one we expect the most debate on -- but also the most downloads. When the military started extricating itself from the Internet in the latter half of the 1990s, one casualty was online maps. When I was visiting Fort Monroe in January, I needed a hair cut and searched for the barber shop through my phone's web browser and was able to identify that one was on post, but couldn't find it. After driving around for 30 minutes and making a handful of phone calls, I finally found it. I have had to PCS into a number of posts and I know that my experiences are shared with a lot of Soldiers and family members.

So, we took publicly available maps that were commissioned for print by our local PAO office, and then used Google Maps and the Internet to fill in the rest of the data. We intentionally took the approach of taking public information (instead of "plugging" in all the grids) and ultimately came up with an app that has 170 locations. Of the apps we made, this is the one that I would consider charging for (and would definitely download if I were heading to an unfamiliar post). Paying 99 cents (or $1.99) would be worth it for every military post.

And, we have a funny story about a squirrel now.
