    GREAT Fun and Easy to use. Stick to the Route for best results.
    Scott_M, Feb 2024
    This is great! I love the GPS aspect. Just follow the route and it automatically plays. My only issue is that if you take one of the offshoot paths, the GPS has a hard time figuring out where we are. If it were possible, perhaps an added feature would be a "get me back to the route" function, but I understand completely that a change like that could be costly. I would recommend this.
    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    I'm glad you had a great time with the Palm Springs and Joshua Tree Audio Tours! It's wonderful that the GPS feature made your experience smooth and engaging. I appreciate your feedback on the offshoot paths; it's something we'll consider for future updates. If you want to explore more, don't forget to check out my Action+ Tour Bundle for over 100 more self-guided tours.
