This was really good, insightful, easy to follow and well planned. Took us to loads of really interesting places on Silicon Valley whilst giving us some good history including some interesting scandal! Really good!

The route on the trip and the picture of each point of interest are not updated. We encountered a dead-end street or place you can't go through. The app is also lagged in the direction. We ended up missing turn or exit. I wish you had the options to skip some of the points you don't want to see and also should provide a pfd map for printouts of all the points of interest. Overall there're rooms for improvement.
