GPS Ranger

The GPS Ranger is a self-guided multimedia device that guides you through the historic Sweet Auburn Area. Hear Dr. King's message of social justice and equality, view images of the civil rights movement, and experience the aftermath of his untimely death, all in the palm of your hand. This device also provides an alternative to visitors who are unable to take the tour of the Birth Home during high visitation.

The GPS Ranger can be rented for $9.95 during your visit and is available at the Eastern National Bookstore, inside of Fire Station #6, located on the corner of Auburn Avenue and Boulevard.
