National Parks Explorer
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
NEW! – The National Parks Explorer now includes the Grand Canyon and the Blue Ridge Parkway. New users may choose any one of the nine parks as their FREE park. The others are available for purchase, or buy ALL parks and save.
The National Parks Explorer brings together and efficiently organizes a vast amount of information – from the National Park Service’s website, brochures, interpretive markers, Wikipedia, and other sources – into an elegantly designed mobile guide with over 1900 articles.
■ Includes Acadia, Great Smokies, Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Natchez Trace Parkway, Glacier, Rocky Mountain, Grand Canyon, and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
■ Utilizes an easy-to-use interface to quickly find the information you want, much of which is otherwise hard to find and inaccessible while you are within the boundaries of the Park (most of which have spotty or no mobile phone coverage).
■ Beautifully illustrated with over 2000 photographs and historical works of art showcasing the fascinating history and scenic wonders of each park.
■ 960 geo-located points-of-interests.
■ Hundreds more articles on park ecosystems, wildlife, geology, history, activities and more.
■ Beautiful National Park Service maps that are available at all times. Toggle between these and the more precise iPhone maps. The NPS maps also display automatically when there is no data connection (NPS map display requires iOS4).
■ “Locate Nearest” button scrolls guide lists – such as waterfalls, trailheads, and historic sites – to the nearest Point-of-Interest. Even locate the closest bathroom!
■ All articles have footers linking directly to the source text on the National Park Service website, Wikipedia or other online source.
■ "More Information Available" footers load relevant NPS web pages into the app viewer. Allows the user to conveniently access such timely subjects as road conditions or closures, park news and events, as well as important park service information such as backcountry camping rules and campground reservations.
■ Manage individual Favorites lists for each national park. Create your own tour!
