GPS City Guide turns a city into a story you unlock one stop at a time. Pick a city, put one earbud in, and start walking. As you reach each landmark, the app lets you know you have arrived. One tap and its story begins. No reading. No route to follow. 200+ CITIES WORLDWIDE, 5,900+ NARRATED STOPS United States: New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Washington DC, New Orleans, Charleston, Savannah, Detroit, Baltimore, Charlotte, Grand Rapids and dozens more. Europe: London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Lisbon, Seville, Florence, Venice, Athens, Edinburgh, Dublin, Istanbul. Beyond: Tokyo, Kyoto, Sydney, Mexico City, Agra. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your city. 2. Walk wherever you want. There is no set order and no route to follow. 3. When you arrive at a stop, tap Play and the story begins. Prefer it fully hands-free? Turn on Auto-play on arrival in Settings. WHY IT IS DIFFERENT GPS knows when you arrive. A quick arrival card tells you which stop you are standing at, and one tap starts the story. Or switch on Auto-play and keep your phone in your pocket. Real narration, not robotic text-to-speech. Every stop is recorded, never synthesized. Written from the historical record, then fact-checked. You get a local history lesson, not a list of pins. Plays on the lock screen and keeps going while you walk. Download a city before you go and walk it with no signal at all. Wander freely. Every stop sits on one map and you take them in any order. Your location never leaves your device. TRY IT FIRST The first three stops in every city are free. No account, no card, no trial timer. Walk a few blocks, hear the city, then decide. More cities land every month. Walk the city. It will tell you its stories. The first three stops in every city are free. Unlock select cities individually, or get All-Access for every city, including new ones.
