The National Park Service’s free map for Gettysburg outlines an auto tour of the battlefield. It is also available from the Visitor Center and at the seasonal information center on the Chambersburg road.

While the map is a wonderful overview of the battle, it doesn’t give much background information. This application provides historical and other contextual information for each of the map’s designated auto stops.

The sheer number of markers and monuments can be overwhelming on the auto tour. This application is designed specifically for a bored 11-year-old—perhaps, like me so many years ago, riding in the back of the family Buick on a hot August afternoon (with no air conditioning).

This application does not use GPS tracking services and does not require Internet access on the battlefield.
