Field notes
The homepage describes a download-before-departure workflow: choose one of three named routes, save it to a phone, then let GPS trigger narration as the car approaches places. It says the tours work in flight mode and include both roadside cautions, such as a single-lane bridge, and cultural context like a saga. English, French, German, and Chinese are listed; the page also offers account access or a code supplied by a rental desk or hotel.
