Good tour and a lot of back history. Read instruction first in the app. If you go on side routes, pause the app and turn back on when you get back to original route. Short notice on turns . Look at big picture first since traffic can be heavy. We enjoyed it

Easy to follow, lots of fun information, possible to jump things on the route.
