It’s Just Like Having a Tour Guide in Your Car™
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Though Maui is easily driveable and accessible, you will want to take your time and explore all corners of this diversely beautiful island paradise. It a place like no other where in a day you can be swimming with turtles, or hiking the moonscape at the top of an extinct volcano, or absorb the refreshing mist of a rainforest waterfall.
For the easiest possible experience, the entire island has tour commentary. All you have to drive, and the tour will transition automatically as you move from one section of the island to another. You simply drive, listen to the commentary and make decisions the places that interest you the most, just like have a local friend to show you around.

Pros and cons of Maui GyPSy Guide Driving Tour app for iPhone and iPad
Maui GyPSy Guide Driving Tour app good for
The content was very interesting and it is very convenient to listen.
I can recommend to buy it as a very inexpensive guide.
We rented a car and drove around to many parts of the island. Having this Gypsy app loaded and installed on my phone greatly added to the enjoyment of our day trips. I turned all data off on my phone (so as to not incur excessive roaming charges), and plugged the phone into the car sterio. The GPS on the phone would track direction on its built-in map. When you hit way-points, interesting dialog (including directions) would play.
This app made our vacation in Maui that much better, if thats even possible considering how beautiful the place is to begin with. Without the guidance and history the guide provided throughout the Road to Hana and the trip to Haleakala, there is no way my g/f and I would have enjoyed it as much. Not to mention, we would have had no idea where to stop during the Road to Hana without the advice of our guide. I would have paid double for this app.
I bought this app a couple years ago and really enjoyed it. Going back again and looking forward to discovering more. What would make it amazing is if they update it.
There are many things we never would have seen had it not been for GyPSy. The commentary can be a bit folksy, but the information is excellent and sounds sincere as if you are getting advice from a local. Nice that it points out things to miss when there is a pack of cars, nowhere to stop and nothing to see.
Would be nice if there was a way to scan through a transcript of what was said in case you want to go back to what was said later.
Also would be nice if it pointed out stuff very briefly on the return trip in case you skipped it on the way out, like the trip to Hana.
We downloaded the app for the Road to Hana initially but loved it so much we downloaded the Full Maui app. I cant say enough good things about this app. Its educational, the guide points out "must sees", best parking areas and great places to eat. Well worth the money if youre going to be spending time touring around Maui! Great job with the app!
Some bad moments
Bought the app and tried to get the commentary and it didnt work. On the road to Hana nothing worked except "that concludes your tour" in the middle of the trip. Called the phone number for tech support. No one answered the phone and no one called me back. I left a message asking for a refund and my request was ignored. Im calling my credit card company and putting the charge in dispute.
Good idea but inconvenience ,dangerous and poorly implemented because this app should allow you to use it with google map or other maps as if it is one app.
You have to open both maps one for gps turn by turn guidance and one for audio and have to switch back and forth continously in order to look at direction and reactivate audio.
Do this for road to Hana and you may not make it back alive.
This app needs to be redesigned to integrate with google map for convenience and safety then it will be a 5 star app.
It never downloaded, but I did get my $9.99 charge on my bill! Thanks!
Paid $10 for app but it is worthless. It does not work and it is useless
This app was good 2yrs ago but since then it hasn’t had updates. Most importantly app doesn’t run in background and on ios8 devices GPS doesn’t always activate even after rebooting phone and reinstalling app.
Used for the Road to Hana route and Haleakala National Park. This is the second gypsy app I have purchased and it is just as good as the other one! Besides directions the guy tells you good places to stop for a bite to eat and also gas stations etc. Worth every penny.
