Inside Outside Battery

• Inside Outside Battery is an interactive adventure in sound: an innovative way to discover the unique Battery area enroute to the popular North Head walking trail in St. John's, Newfoundland.
• While your eyes see an outside landscape of laneways and cliffside houses, your ears will hear the inside stories - brought to you by artists, writers, storytellers and the people who live there.
• The app triggers audio by GPS-location, and covers the area from the beginning of Battery Road to Signal Hill National Historic Park.
• Using the app is simple: just plug in your earphones and start walking. More than 30 stories will whisper in your ear all the way from Battery Road to the North Head Trail, playing automatically as you pass through each location.
