I'm sold! GuideAlong made our trip SO much more enjoyable! Not only do you get fun facts and interesting stories, you get advanced notice of a turnoff coming up and why you should take it! I know, without a doubt, we have missed a lot on previous trips now that we've used GuideAlong, and that will never happen again! It was worth the money spent on it-we bought the Mighty Five bundle and we can HIGHLY RECOMMEND GuideAlong for your next trip!

Hands down this app was very helpful, entertaining & easy to use. The installation was easy as it paired right away on Android Auto but as noted, it will not stream to the display but audio does play through the car speaker. The GPS works flawlessly. The narrator is funny and entertaining 🤣 . He gives the history and interesting facts as you drive that area. I purchased the Appalachian bundle for a trip to Skyline Drive and The Blue Ridge Parkway. It is well worth the money 💰.

I would recommend anybody visiting Vegas area with intention of going to the Red Canyon .Hoover dam and the Grand Canyon to get this. Amazing app. Really gave lots of information and it was really really helpful. The narrator gave lots of information which we do not get in Internet, especially about the pricing and West rim ( around 50 dollars person to enter the area). The map can be more user-friendly. The good thing is the app still works when data is patchy it not available so you are good .
