Easy-to-use features:
- Save favorites and a "Been There" list
- View nearby attractions on a map
- See what attractions are between two cities or addresses
- Submit photos and tips about presidential landmarks you've visited for our editors to consider adding
- Plot your next stop using Maps (or popular map apps)

If you are a fan of visiting interpretive and commemorative presidential sites — the unusual, the mainstream, or the downright puzzling — this app is a must-have. I have used this app on every road trip and vacation for the last nine years. My favorite features are “Been There,” where you can keep track of all the attractions you’ve visited, and the GPS pinpoints that help you find the sites in the first place. The latter is especially helpful when searching for offbeat presidential places you’re unlikely to find on a regular map or brochure.
Great app? Or GREATEST app?

This "Roadside Presidents" app is SO GREAT! I just got it yesterday and it showed me so much POTUS-related stuff around Dallas/Ft Worth I didn't know about (including statues of Washington through Madison hidden in a Ft Worth Mausoleum I visited/posted yesterday). It's going to make traveling more fun than ever.
The best!

It amazing all the little known sites related to Presidents, Vice-Presidents, First Ladies, etc. to be found in the cities and back roads of America. It adds fun and educational value for the whole family.
