The National Mall

   * The National Mall has a free App (available on iPhone and Android)  with photos and the ability to create and run your own tour.  The App is  designed to use while visiting the Mall, but is still fun to use  without visiting in person.  Most of the App’s features have worked fine  on my iPad 2 as well, though there have been a few glitches when I pull  up the Maps feature.
