A UR has uncovered an interesting situation here in Gettysburg, and I’m wondering how this is handled in similar situations in other parts of the state…
The Gettysburg National Military Park is made up of many chunks of land both inside and outside of town. Unlike a state park or forest which may be mostly park with some chunks carved out for private land, this area is mostly private with chunks carved out for the park. Some of the larger chunks are defined as area places, thankfully not all of them. There dozens more small chunks which should be considered part of the GNMP area if we are trying to mark the whole park.

The problem arrises when someone wants to route to “Gettysburg National Military Park” from the app. It offers them a list of each of these current areas to choose from, with no guidance as to the correct one to choose. We received a UR because the user assumes that selecting any of these will take them to the visitor’s center, or at least someplace useful. Several of them even suggest that they are taking you to “Baltimore Pike” (where the Visitor’s Center is) but that’s not where they actually go as you will be routed to wherever the stop point was set for that area.
Several solutions I see (though you’re all smarter than me, so may have better to offer):
A. Do nothing, tell users that they should be asking for the park visitor center if that’s where they wanted to go. There is a point place for that already.
B. Rename all but the area place which includes the visitor’s center. Maybe to something like “Gettysburg National Military Park If You Choose Me You Will Be Lost.” 
C. Eliminate all the area places, leaving just the visitor’s center to be found when people search.
D. Combine the larger area places into one large place (could be messy) with the stop point at the visitor’s center. Eliminate the smaller outlying area places.
I think I would lean toward C or D, but I want smarter opinions than mine.
As a corollary to this issue, what should we do with the Eisenhower National Historic Site area place?
While this area place is accurate, you can not drive to this site. It is closed to private vehicles. You must go to the GNMP visitor’s center and take a bus. Offering this as a destination when people search is not helpful to anyone. I suggest we combine or eliminate this area place with whatever we decide to do with the rest of the GNMP pieces. (I’m sure a National Park person would claim it’s a separate park, but they share a visitor’s center, so no one else thinks of them as separate.) If we thought we needed to, we could add a separate point place at the GNMP visitor’s center for the “Eisenhower National Historic Site Visitor’s Center” in case someone searches specifically for that.
Thanks, all!
