One of the biggest sources of confusion I've found regarding the eastern front is place names. The central powers inevitably used the German spelling for many place names, especially if they were in the area that was once part of the Austro-Hungarian empire at some point, but also for many places that had German populations. After the end of both world wars, boundaries were shifted and a lot of these places were then renamed (or at least the spelling was updated) to the Slavic spelling. This is what is generally used to this day.
While the larger places may be searchable in Google, the Germanic names for many smaller places have been largely forgotten. The best solution is use
these maps from a 1910 survey of the Austro-Hungarian empire and the surrounding regions. If you can pinpoint the particular map to zero-in on based on a previous position of the unit, it's then a question of searching the neighborhood. The maps are detailed down to showing larger buildings, much like the image shown above.
The other thing is that much like the western front, many of the grave sites may have been consolidated and moved from where the solder was originally recorded as being buried. The best bet is to connect to the German war graves registry (
