Description

TOUR GUIDE AS YOU DRIVE AROUND YOSEMITE
If you like driving yourself when you go sightseeing, GyPSy Guide™ tour apps allow you to enjoy a guided tour experience while remaining totally independent. By driving yourself, you'll be able to get from place to place faster, see more things and not be tied to anyone else's schedule.
DON'T MISS OUT ON THE BEST SIGHTS AND STORIES
The tour apps use your device’s location abilities to play the commentary AUTOMATICALLY. All you have to do is drive, listen and decide which places you want to stop at. Our tour guides have created an insightful and entertaining tour of Yosemite. We’ll recommend the best places to experience and some great locations that most visitors will drive by.
PLAYS AUTOMATICALLY
GyPSy Guide knows where you are and which direction you are heading, and plays commentary automatically about the things you are seeing, plus stories and tips and advice.
EXPLORE LIKE A LOCAL
It’s just like having a local friend to show you around. And that friend just happens to be a professional tour guide.
GREAT VALUE
The same information you would get on a bus tour or from a guide book, for just a fraction of the price. And you control the itinerary and schedule.
WORKS OFFLINE
No data, cellular or even wireless network connection needed while touring. Anyone can use them with no need for roaming data – even visiting from another country.
DRIVING TOUR ROUTE
The tour includes the most popular sightseeing stops and many more:
1) Yosemite Falls
2) Glacier Point
3) Giant Sequoia Groves
4) El Capitan
5) Bridalveil Falls
6) Tioga Road
7) Hetch Hetchy
8) Many other viewpoints and park attractions
GyPSy Guide has commentary on every major road in the Park.
NOTES
Because the app is filled with audio commentary and maps, its larger than "normal" apps. If you have a limited data plan, its recommended to download over a WiFi network.
++ Continued use of GPS running in the background increases battery usage - we strongly recommend taking a cigarette style DC outlet car charger. This is much better than simply plugging into the USB port in a vehicle.
** iPad users - please note that WiFi-only iPads will not activate the commentary automatically. Any iPhone or network-capable iPad (WiFi + Cellular - whether you have a network connection or not) will work just fine.

Ratings and Reviews
Tour guide in your pocket
Right from the approach to Yosemite this app started giving us background and information about the formation of Yosemite. Not only does it include information on the park and sites, but driving clues on lane changes and upcoming decisions, what you do and do not want to miss. The information contained was SO HELPFUL for our first time experience. We will definitely look for this app at other locations!!
BE AWARE: This is a car app ONLY ... as we took it on a hike nearby a roadway and it did not pick up on the signals for information. There is no way to kick off information (that we found) but maybe the developers can add this option.
The PERFECT App!
We have been to Yosemite a number of times but this guide completely changed our experience. It helps point you towards things you must see and others that you may not have realized existed. It gives you real time approach (through GPS) to parking so that you don't miss a parking lot and gives you direct pointers on where to spot iconic landmarks. Great for pictures! It also gives you amazing hiking tips including what to expect for experience levels. In between guided points, he provides fillers with Yosemite history tidbits. Unquestionably the best app I have ever had for guided travel! Thank you!
Gypsy Yosemite
LOVED IT!! It was very informative about what was in the park to see, the driving instructions were spot on! Loved that it told us what lane to in, all the different options on how to get to where we wanted to go. Especially loved the commentary, the history of the area and the men and women who played a part, the stories were entertaining.
Will be using again and again, would highly recommend to everyone!
