[Ldsoss] Mapping on lds.org

[Richard K Miller]

Here's my attempt at it:

https://www.moregoodfoundation.org/wardmap/

After entering your LDS.org username and password, it will fetch your  
ward directory, geocode the addresses, and map it.  Your credentials  
are transmitted entirely over SSL, and are not saved.

I'm using Geocoder.us for the geocoding, which works pretty well but  
isn't perfect -- some of my ward member's houses were in the wrong  
place.  But my BYU ward isn't very interesting anyway, since all the  
markers are in one tiny clump.
