Wayfarer GPS Audio Guides 4+

Almond Blossom Tour

The tour was great but we had a slight glitch when we were halfway through. The app skipped to the final stop even though the GPS was fine. I followed the suggestion to manually select the next point. It eventually followed us and we were back on track. The narration was great addition to a scenic drive.

Almond Blossom Cruise

We downloaded the app and bought the cruise. Near waypoint 4, the app announced a Detour and sent us through several miles of beautiful almond orchards, to Wamble Road, then north, taking us into Oakdale. Next, to SR 108 and 10 miles east to historic Knight’s Ferry. From there, west along SR 108 to Orange Blossom Road and east along that road to end up at Knight’s Ferry again, where the app directed us to go west on SR 108, again. After nearly 4 hours on the tour, we felt we were on an endless Detour, but we had no more time available, so we quit an went home.

We enjoyed the day and the scenery, but the app was of little help.

Unlike GPS route guidance, the app gave us no sense of certainty that we were approaching or at a waypoint, street, or turn, or whether we were actually on or off of the tour route. The narrator talked, but that narrative seemed to be linked only to some of the waypoints. We would have preferred having a route map and listening to individual commentaries, keyed to waypoints, that we could call up when we wanted them.

Developer Response ,

Hello - I’m so sorry that you had a bad experience on the tour. I agree - the detour was unfortunate. We asked the county if they could hold off with the roadwork but it was not possible. We guarantee the experience - so I would be more than happy to offer a refund. Please email me at ric@wayfarerjourney.com. Thanks, Ric

Yolo tour and a fun day!

Today was a Birthday Celebration for my sister and we had a great time on the YOLO, Farms and …tour. The narration along the way was entertaining and educational. While it took us a bit longer than the two hours, we stopped at a couple of place and enjoyed ourselves. The tour was a bargain in entertainment $$ and having the ability to stop when and where we wanted was convenient. Thank you Ric for your assistance when requested and for the fun!!!
PS those of us that have went on the tour have spent time in YOLO since kids attended UCD, but we never ventured like we did today. If you’re doing a college visit, take the tour for greater assessments in decision-making.
