This just in: You no longer need a guidebook to take your next great road trip.
Instead, make your way around the country’s greatest national parks with an audio guide from Just Ahead, a new app that turns your smartphone into a tour guide.
Using GPS, the app pinpoints your location on the road and tell you what you’re seeing as you drive through America’s most compelling destinations. It also offers turn-by-turn directions and suggestions for what to check out around you.
The destination guides are produced and narrated by road-seasoned pros–editor Bob Howells has won Society of American Travel Writers awards for adventure reporting twice–and after you download the free app, you can purchase individual guides for $8 to $10. (Just be sure to do so before you hit the road so you can still access the information even if you’re offline.)
Just Ahead has guides for Yosemite, Zion, Cedar Breaks, Bryce Canyon, Joshua Tree and Death Valley so far, and 12 additional park guides–including the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone–will be rolled out by June 30, just in time for your big summer road trip.
