My wife & I used this from Vancouver on our road trip via Whistler, Jasper, Banff and back to Vancouver. We both found the information and guidance presented added real value to the trip - just like having a local guide sitting in the car telling you all the background, history & insights into everything you saw. It suggested places... More

The target audience for the GPS-based automated tour guides is a vehicle-based traveller in unfamiliar territory. Banff, and the Canadian Rockies are very familiar territory for me, so I'm bringing a different perspective to this review.

This is a GPS controlled device we rented and fastens on the windshield like a GPS. It works as a travel guide and gave us a conducted tour of Edmonton, Calgary, Jasper to Banff, and all of BC. It was like having a tour guide in the car with us. As we drove along it would tell us about all... More

On advice from friends who had rented one, we picked up our Gypsy Guide at the Calgary airport. It provided priceless info during our 9 day vacation in Banff, Jasper, and Lake Louise, plus other points of interest along the way. Like being on a first class tour, but having the flexibility to do what we wanted, when we wanted.... More
