Heritage Compass “The app that tells you your family’s story as you travel.” Take your family history with you wherever you go. Imagine walking through a quiet village, exploring a bustling city, or driving along a country road when your iPhone or CarPlay gently tells you: “Just ahead is the church where your ancestors were married.” “This was the town your family called home for generations.” “Your great-grandfather worked just a few streets from here.” That’s the Heritage Compass experience. Heritage Compass is a unique voice-guided heritage companion that transforms your family tree into a living journey. As you travel anywhere in the world, it automatically discovers nearby locations connected to your ancestors and tells you their stories through spoken narration. Whether you’re walking through an ancestral village, visiting a historic city, or enjoying a scenic drive, Heritage Compass helps you experience your family history without constantly looking at your phone. Simply travel, listen, and discover. Your Family Tree Comes to Life Import your existing family tree using a standard GEDCOM file from your favourite genealogy software. Heritage Compass intelligently matches the people and places in your tree with your current location, helping you discover: • Birthplaces • Family homes • Churches • Marriage locations • Burial places • Places of work • Historic landmarks • Villages, towns and cities connected to your family Whether your ancestors lived nearby or on the other side of the world, Heritage Compass is ready whenever you travel. Hear History as You Travel Unlike traditional genealogy apps, Heritage Compass doesn’t just display information—it speaks to you. Using natural voice narration through your iPhone or Apple CarPlay, the app tells you about nearby family connections while you walk or drive. Keep your eyes on the road, enjoy the scenery, and let your family’s story unfold around you. More Than Genealogy Heritage Compass helps you experience places rather than simply read about them. Discover the communities your ancestors lived in, understand the history that shaped their lives, and create a deeper connection with the places that helped make your family who they are today.
