Decent and worth the money

overall decent and worth the money, but definitely perfect! Especially if you are traveling solo it's very good to have. I bought the Southwest bundle which I haven't used yet and I also bought acadia which i just completed . For $20 it was worth it but I did have a couple of issues 1 ) sometimes it doesn't give clear guidance at major intersection so it's easy to get off the route , that happened to me twice. 2) schoodic point and the loop there is a major part of Acadia and it's not covered at all 🤦‍♂️ ridiculous! overall, it was decent and I made it to places I wouldn't have gone especially on the large loop to some of the remote areas on the western side . also some of the stories I appreciated , others eh.

Hard

Difficult to use. Does not always know where we are

Big Island Memory

As a couple on our first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii and driving in many areas with no signal, we never felt lost or alone while listening to the GuideAlong narrater. One of us remained focused on the driving and the other helped with following the map the phone connected with CarPlay. The timing and clarity of the prompts was near perfection. We had time on the fly to decide to either follow or pass on an opportunity (scenic overlook, shopping, dining, etc.). The guide’s content was relatable, enriching and easy to follow. The person with the phone was able to easily repeat, stop or jump ahead. We know that without using GuideAlong, we would have had observed and experienced far, far less and stressed more. What we did not get to the first day, we simply picked up and resumed in the next two days. What a terrific experience!

Love this app

This is the 2nd trip we have used it on. Last year it was in the pacific NW and this year it was Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. He provides great info and the app works great, even when you dont have cell signal.

Yosemite Tour!

Downloaded for a guided tour of Yosemite and am keeping for all future trips! We were in Yosemite for three days with specific hikes in mind and this guided tour was a great highlight! It added fun facts, history, and helpful tips to our drives. You can tell a lot of love for Yosemite from the narrator, and so much care went into this tour. It was fun to have on any time we were in the car - we wish there was more! Can’t wait to use the other tours!
