I loved the commentary. Unfortunately, following the tour was impossible. It caused so much frustration that we finally just shut it off and did our own thing. There was no time for making the turns needed. If you got off track, you would hear things that applied several steps prior. It was very difficult to get the tour to match the voice. We kept endinging up going the wrong direction. It was a mess. In all fairness, maybe this would have worked better for a tour whose attractions were spaced much further apart. We will someday find a tour like that and try it again because the idea of a narrated driving tour is very appealing to us.

This was a fun drive. And great stories on the way. Just wish there were more stories in the down times. Directions in the bigger towns were a problem. Because they would say to turn, right when the street came. Also little street signs, and small streets. I’m from this area. And I know these are the problems in our towns. But because I know the area I got back on track. With the map. I had to stop at times to get the voice map back on track though. So take your time, if you stop before the towns and look at the map first. You might far better getting through the town. Because you will know which streets to look for, before you happen to pass them.
