It was fun learning about California history, seeing places I've only heard about and had a less traveled journey home.

The guided tour could not be used as i was driving from Angels camp to Jackson. Waste of money! Make sure you start at Jackson!

Hi there, I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your experience. You'll see that it clearly states in the product title that this is a driving tour from Jackson to Angels Camp. You have lifetime access to this tour, so I do hope you get to use it if ever you drive in the other direction. I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your experience. In the meantime, can you email us at [email protected] and we'll see what can be done in terms of a refund. Thanks.

It started out GREAT!!! But sometime midway, it went silent with no mapping. We didn’t have the slightest idea where we were and had to use Waze to get us back to our motel. I’ll be calling to complain and ask for a refund. I had read in another review by an iPhone user that the same occurred with them. Maybe that’s the problem… If they don’t refund, I’m going to be PISSED!!!
