Kruse GPS Audio Guide

Loved the idea of a history narrator and the cultural folklore. Worked only some of the time. Sometimes it would start fine and cut out. Sometimes it would repeat and I couldn’t stop it. Needs some glitches worked out but still worth it. It enhanced my experience in New Zealand!!!

Used it for a South Island trip and it worked great for the most part. It was fun hearing stories and history of the areas we were in. My few suggestions are to have the audio play sooner. Sometimes I would be past the landmark before I had enough info to know if I wanted to stop. And I liked the random facts that were unrelated to the area I was in. I’d add more of those. I’ll be using it again for my next trip to north island

The GPS initiated audio commentary is brilliant. It is the equivalent of having a personal storyteller accompany you on your drive throughout New Zealand. Māori legends & history, commentaries on geology, historical landmarks, history of towns , of colonial immigration, and not to be missed points of interest. There are a variety of narrators that fit the different characters. The host narrator, Jonathan, has an extremely soothing and eloquent voice. I especially like the variety of soothing music as it introduces the forthcoming commentary. This is a perfect travel companion for New Zealand.
