Wayfarer GPS Audio Guides

This app was so helpful! My family and I were visiting malibu after helping my brother move into L.A.. We had no idea where to go and how to do it and the suggestions the tour gave us were amazing! The Getty villa was my favorite stop, the art and history displayed there is impressive! My favorite part was the architecture itself. To eat we went to the Neptunes Net! I loved the clam chowder! And everything for a good price! I would definitely go again. The app itself was easy to use, my parents have a hard time with new technology or apps but they seemed to be at ease the whole time, especially because we could take all the time we wanted!

The tour was great but we had a slight glitch when we were halfway through. The app skipped to the final stop even though the GPS was fine. I followed the suggestion to manually select the next point. It eventually followed us and we were back on track. The narration was great addition to a scenic drive.

We downloaded the app and bought the cruise. Near waypoint 4, the app announced a Detour and sent us through several miles of beautiful almond orchards, to Wamble Road, then north, taking us into Oakdale. Next, to SR 108 and 10 miles east to historic Knight’s Ferry. From there, west along SR 108 to Orange Blossom Road and east along that road to end up at Knight’s Ferry again, where the app directed us to go west on SR 108, again. After nearly 4 hours on the tour, we felt we were on an endless Detour, but we had no more time available, so we quit an went home. We enjoyed the day and the scenery, but the app was of little help. Unlike GPS route guidance, the app gave us no sense of certainty that we were approaching or at a waypoint, street, or turn, or whether we were actually on or off of the tour route. The narrator talked, but that narrative seemed to be linked only to some of the waypoints. We would have preferred having a route map and listening to individual commentaries, keyed to waypoints, that we could call up when we wanted them.
