What tour??
The GPS took us on backroads to the state park and there we lost cellular and GPS connection. This day we didn’t pack a map we followed 340 out and saw the entrance to the park, but still no reception. I wish I had not paid for this app. Maybe a Verizon problem?

Makes the skyline drive more fun to drive
We had a wonderful drive with this “guide”! He’s got a wonderful storytelling style — really feels like a real guide sitting in your car. The tour helps you appreciate the views, hikes, and stops along the Skyline Drive. He talks automatically as you drive, pointing out things before you get to them so you can decide to stop/etc.
