About this app

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.

Try out the tour through Stop 1, then purchase the full tour if you would like to continue.

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.

Ratings and reviews

Audio Tour was excellent. It enhanced our driving tour tremendously. It moved in perfect sync with our vehicle location and the National Park's signage and map. The narration was very good. There were additional, optional narratives you could listen to at certain spots. Well worth the price of the app. We were able to play it via bluetooth on our car sound system. Those criticizing its operation must not understand how it works. It's a "10" in my book.

I saw mixed reviews for this app, but it worked great for us today! As long as you can find your starting point, the signs will guide you the rest of the way! The audio began automatically because it's using GPS to track where you are. certain areas have areas you can pull over and watch a short video explaining where you are and then you can get out and explore some. For the little bit of money I paid for it, it was so worth it! Highly recommend! I'd allow a good portion of the day to explore.

I had mixed results with this app. We followed the auto tour rout from beginning to end without deviation. The app appeared to work well in the beginning of the tour, but after a while things didn't go well. Stops were skipped and videos wouldn't play. At one point I had to reboot my device. At tour stop 8 the gps thought I was at stop 11. I don't know if the app is to blame, my cell service provider (Virgin Mobile), or both. So I don't know how to rate this app.
