If you don't start at the exact starting point the tour doesn't follow along. Also had a lot of trouble accessing the tour. Definitely have to plan and have everything pre-loaded. The narration was informative and pleasant for the few stops we listened to.

Nice tour along the “golden 49”. Directions were very difficult to follow because of timing, traffic, sun in the eyes, and difficulty reading street signs. This difficulty was mainly in the heart of the small towns. Stories were great and broke up the longer distances.
