The self-guided audio tour was wonderful. Downloading the app and the data was easy. Directions were clear. Options for more info at several stops enriched the whole experience. We drove at our own pace. So much better than a group bus ride — and waaaay cheaper.

A very good experience. The only improvement I can think of would be to somehow include a map showing troop movements, and clue the driver which way is north at each stop.

Including troop movement maps and better north markers is a great idea—I’ll keep that in mind for future updates.

It brought the battle to life. And I appreciated that it knew where we were and adjusted the narration to accommodate it.
