We used the GPS to show us around Jasper park. We had to use the FM transmitter, which cuts in and out, however the MP3 player system for the newer vehicles would not have this problem. Lots of fun trivia and nice to tour at our own pace. More

We recently spent three weeks in the Canadian Rockies and used a Gypsy Guide that we picked up in Jasper and dropped off in Calgary. This was one of the best decisions we made about our trip, as we were on a photographic expedition, and didn't want to miss anything. Not only did the Gypsy Guide point out all the... More

The Gypsy guide is amazing. We collected it in Calgary and dropped it off in Jasper. To have commentary throughout the Rockies was great. We would have missed so much if we did not have it. The Gypsy guide is a must for anyone doing a self drive holiday. More

We spent a week in Jasper/ Banff and visited all the major attractions with the help of GyPSy Guide. Though we had to return the first defective unit after few hours, replaced one worked fine throughout our trip. With the help of accompanying brochure, we were able to make most out of our trip. Indeed, a must have in Rocky... More

We took other TripAdvisors' advice and rented the GyPSy Guide for our week-long trip through Banff and Jasper. As others have commented, it is absolutely worth every penny! We learned so much more about our surroundings than we ever would have had we not rented it. One note: We thought the GyPSy Guide (which uses GPS satellite coordinates to track... More

At first I thought that the cost of the hire was a bit excessive, but after using gypsy it was well worth the money. The commentary and anecdotes are great; it also takes you to places that you would probably not have considered visiting without having done some serious prior research. Having driven approx 3000 miles we used most of... More

We were planning our first trip to Jasper, Lake Louise and Banff and saw the reviews for GyPSy Guide. We didn't know anything about it but it sounded like it would enhance our experience. WOW! We rented it in Calvary and it even gave us directions to get out the airport. Having never been to the area, it made our... More

GyPSy came unexpectedly as part of a rental package and really made our 6 days driving in Jasper, Banff and the Icefields Parkways complete. It was like having our own personal tour guide providing info on the area, history, and animal life. As we drove in one area it noted the cliffs above may have mountain goats present and looking...
