Great addition to this already incredible experience. Having the map alone offline was worth it! We helped someone find their way with it. It worked just like the tutorial said it would.

The narration/GPS app worked very well… Unfortunately at about 20% in we got stopped by Park road closure… but for what we saw I would recommend the self-guided audio tour…

Visiting Denver for the first time and we decided to make a day trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. Saw this self tour App and decided to give it a try. App worked well and was able to track our car’s location even with no cell coverage. Just make sure you follow the instructions to download the App in advance and start the tour at the right location. It was nice that we were able to stop and get out of the car at any point and the App would continue when we resumed driving. This was a very affordable option to enhance our visit to the park!
