WHAT TO EXPECT:

It's so simple! All you have to do is start driving towards wherever you want to go. The commentary will play automatically. This includes all the instructions you need for places where you have to make important turns or decisions about which route to take. Once you have launched “Start Driving,” the commentary will play automatically as you pass through the activation points. The narration seamlessly transitions from each area and park to the next.

As you tour, you're going to see giant, classic Rocky Mountains with their sheer faces and distinctive ridging. There are many opportunities to see glaciers, especially around Lake Louise and along the Icefields Parkway.

Always watch for wildlife, frequently seen enjoying grassy meadows. Grizzly bears and black bears aren't always guaranteed, but the tour will give you tips about places where your chances are better.

There are many gorgeous lakes with colors too good to be true. Don't miss Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Emerald Lake, and Peyto Lake, which is at Bow Summit on the Icefields Parkway. And if you love waterfalls, the Rockies have many—each one demonstrating amazing power.

The tour is filled with entertaining stories about characters from the region, the forces of nature, and other tales that will give you a personal connection to this incredible location.

CHARGING:

++ Continued use of GPS/location services in the background increases battery usage. We strongly recommend using a cigarette-style (DC outlet) car charger to keep your phone charged, and avoid charging through the USB port.

AUDIO:

Listen directly from your phone or connect to the car stereo via Bluetooth. Avoid using a direct USB connection in rental vehicles, as this can cause audio issues. The audio can play through your car’s Apple CarPlay and Android Auto display; however, the map will display only on your phone.

iPADS:

iPad models must include a GPS chip. Please note: only the iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular models contain a GPS chip. Wi-Fi-only iPad models have limited location capabilities and are unable to play commentary automatically.

DOWNLOADING:

The apps are larger in size to function offline. You must download the app ahead of time using Wi-Fi (recommended) or cellular data. Once downloaded, you can tour offline without cell service.
