Drive through Gettysburg and into history with Gettysburg Tours. Watch live action battle scenes that help you imagine real events on Gettysburg’s open fields. The Gettysburg Driving Tour App isn’t just a static map and pictures; it’s a fully immersive and interactive experience. You MUST allow the app to track your location for the GPS triggers to work properly. Press "Allow" when prompted after downloading the app. Your iPad or tablet must be cell data capable Or it must be a smart phone. WiFi only iPads will not work for the on-site gps tour. At each of the National Park Service’s 16 Auto Tour Stops you can: -Experience GPS triggered audio that plays automatically as you drive -Watch battle videos specific to your location -View custom maps -See historically accurate and realistic paintings -Get directions to the next stop You can zip through the park quickly by pausing at a limited number of key stops, or spend more time and experience all 16. It’s fun, flexible, and easy to use. The audio in the app will trigger and play as you drive by historic battle fields. Please note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
No CarPlay
Works ok. The info was well presented. However the experience could be greatly improved if the app supported CarPlay integration.
Very informative, works well
I was impressed with the details of information provided by the app. It also worked well with the gps on my phone, providing reminders of upcoming turns as well as info on the area we were driving through. We didn't have enough time while on the drive to watch the videos provided for stops. I'm looking forward to watching them at home. This is my second review. In the first I thought I could not watch the videos at home, but that was not true. I can't seem to modify that review.
Can't view videos away from the site
We didn't have enough time to view all the videos available at the stops, thinking we could view them back in the hotel room. They will not play here, so I assume they are gps locked to the site. Too bad, the rest of the app worked perfectly, starting narration as we approached a stop and giving us reminders of turns.
Nothing GPS about this app
Not worth the $9.99. Thought this was going to guide us through the park and direct us via GPS but it did not. It does provide an audio tour.
Well done, worth the money
The narration is excellent, and the app does all the work for you, aside from actually drive. I was very pleased, and it’s a third the price of the official app. Even includes some music to set the tone between stops. No complaints.
I’m asking for my money back
I’m asking for my money back on this app. The premise is good, but they are are effectively no instructions on how to use it and I found myself going around in circles because on many intersections there were no instructions given as to which direction to take. It’s unfortunate, because frankly for maybe 10 or 15 hours of additional work this application would work very well and be easy to use, but I wasted at least two hours in backtracking because of the poor directions.
Bluetooth does not work
App will not play on our car. Would like a refund as we were not able to use it all.
