It was really informative and worked really well. We were driving from Jasper to Lake Louise and weren’t sure whether it would work in reverse but it did. Also works off line provided you have downloaded the App first. The suggestions for stopping points were great, the quizzes were fun and it was really informative. Would recommend.
