    Gettysburg was great but it can be overwhelming and without context it might be confusing. This app was recommended to me and it was perfect for tour. It walks you through the timeline and explains everything. Highly recommend.
  • Doesn’t Support Apple CarPlay

    I was looking for a tour that would show me a map of my progress on the battlefield while also giving me the gps-triggered narrative. While I appreciated the clear and no-drama contextualized narrative of the highlights at and between stops, it took me 30 minutes of struggling to connect the audio tour to my Apple CarPlay in the parking lot of the Visitors Center that I finally clicked the right button which told me the app wasn’t optimized for CarPlay and Androids. Instead, I was informed I could still follow my progress on my iPhone. That might be fine if I had someone to hold it and direct me. But I was touring the battlefield alone. If you’re using Apple CarPlay or an Android, avoid this app.

    This auto tour is a basic tour that gives average information on the battle. It misses major points of the battle such as Lee’s headquarters even though you drive right past this important location. The NPS paper map is just as good for a general feel for the battle.

    The most important driving history tour app you should absolutely get! We loved the the tour and will keep using it for future trips. Extremely easy to follow the driving directions and makes the experience way less daunting. I’ve been going to Gettysburg since 1990 and using this app with my tour made the experience 10x better than all previous trips.

    When you have only a day to visit and can’t hire a professional guide, this is a wonderful alternative. Love the GPS tracking so it accurately guides you to key locations.
