It is not a full GPS system and that's a problem. And the navigation controls if you skip a site are clunky. You can do just as well or better if you just take the time to plan the sites you want to visit and just use your own GPS. The narration provided is interesting, but the navigation aspect of it needs improvement. If you do decide to use this app, you need to have a designated navigator familiar with the app. It's not like a GPS.

We're glad you found the narration interesting! The problem with enabling GPS is that it doesn't always take you on the specific roads we want you to take on the tour, meaning you would miss some of the scenic parts of the drive. For that reason, we intentionally disabled the ability to fully navigate using the app. As for the controls for skipping a site, there's right/left arrows, allowing you to flip through the sites like pages in a book. Alternatively, you can view the route map and tap on the next map pin. If you have a suggestion on how that might be improved, or any other suggestions or ideas, please contact us at [email protected]. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

It is fairly ok, but not great. This is NOT a substitute GPS. If you make a wrong turn, you need your own GPS to get back on track. Do not even attempt to park at the busy beach at La Jolla. It ain't happening. You actually don't need the guide even though the price is right. Just pick your spots in advance and use your own GPS. The nav controls on the app are clunky. Do NOT miss Cabrillo Nat Mon. Arrive at least by 4pm. It is pretty much only of interest to adults.

We appreciate your detailed review! Our app isn't designed to replace your trusty GPS, but it does add a sprinkle of history and fun facts to your journey. And yes, parking at La Jolla can be a bit like finding a unicorn. 🦄
