Stand where history was made. Heritage Compass WW2 speaks to you as you approach D-Day sites — and finds your family’s connection to the liberation of France. Every place recorded in this app is somewhere a personal story ended, or changed forever — and the world changed with it. Heritage Compass WW2 speaks to you as you travel through the D-Day beaches and the Battle of Normandy. As you approach any of 1,328 recorded sites — a beach, a cemetery, a memorial, a battlefield — the app speaks aloud, telling you what happened at this exact place. Not a notification. A narration, in English, French, or German, depending on your device language. If you have Heritage Compass installed on the same device with a GEDCOM family tree loaded, the apps share that data automatically. When you approach anywhere your ancestors lived, worked, or died, Heritage Compass WW2 adds a personal layer — telling you who was there, when, and why it matters to your family. Without that connection, the app speaks the history of every site. With it, it speaks your history too. Heritage Compass WW2 is also a comprehensive reference resource for visitors to Normandy. Whether you are travelling as a tourist, as a family member retracing an ancestor's footsteps, or as someone who wants to understand what happened here between June and August 1944, the app brings together in one place information drawn from primary sources across six nations — American, British, Canadian, French, Polish, and German. All nations. Equal respect. A subscription is required to access all features. Annual (£9.99/year) and Lifetime (£34.99) options are available within the app. EVERY PLACE STILL BEARS WITNESS 1,328 locations across the Normandy campaign — beaches, cemeteries, memorials, and battlefields. Sourced from the American Battle Monuments Commission, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, the German Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge, and French national archives. ALL NATIONS. EQUAL RESPECT. American, British, Canadian, French, Polish, and German sites are all represented with the same care and detail. Liberation is one story told from many sides. SIX CURATED ROUTES The American beaches — Utah and Omaha. The British and Canadian beaches — Gold, Juno, and Sword. The airborne operations, including Pegasus Bridge and Sainte-Mère-Église. The German perspective, including La Cambe, where 21,222 German soldiers are buried. The French civilian story — the towns and villages that bore the cost of liberation. And the full campaign, from the landings to the Falaise Pocket, where the German Army in Normandy was finally destroyed. YOUR FAMILY DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Your GEDCOM file is processed entirely on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to external servers. Your ancestors are yours alone. WORKS WITH CARPLAY Voice narrations delivered through your car speakers as you drive the coast road from Utah Beach to Sword.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

This update fixes a critical issue where heritage location notifications were not activating correctly for some users. Voice narration now fires reliably as you approach D-Day beaches, memorials, and Normandy heritage sites. Also corrects narrative content to properly reflect the Normandy D-Day campaign of 1944. Location loading has been improved to dynamically fetch sites based on your current position.
