Flexible but Needs Tweaks

The freedom to go it at ones own pace is so appealing I loved the fact that the app follows the GPS so you know where you are on the map providing assurance and safety which is very important when exploring new places. The ability to download the tour and using it indefinitely was great. Improvements: distance and time to the next stop, not all of the points on the map are stops. Parking was another issue, no app help in navigating the types of parking available and how it can be paid for. prior downloading of the parking payment app if no cash/change. Some of the stops had closing times so it would help to know this prior to plan the day. the app states it's a 8.0 hour tour, this assumes that all you do is stop for a short few minutes at each stop. The concept of a driving tour is so appealing if you want the freedom to tour at your own pace. In all honesty it would have taken us a few days to complete the full tour. looking forward to more UK based driving tour downloads
