Summary:
The stories were wonderful! However the narrative would repeat it self before or after the supposed location. Also, we missed, somehow the various points in Ptown. Not sure why.

Summary:
We thought this was a great little app to guide you round the cape on a rainy day when going to the beach was not an option.
We visited lots of things we wouldn’t have picked up on and found it was an easy to use fun app.

Summary:
Turn by turn directions. Map that shows / follows you. Stops that you might not know about. Great narrator and nice history lesson. You can get out and explore and then hit start to pick up where you left off. Would definitely buy these types of drives again.
