If you like driving yourself when you go sightseeing, GyPSy Guide™ tour apps allow you to enjoy a guided tour experience while remaining totally independent. By driving yourself, youll be able to get from place to place faster, see more things and not be tied to anyone elses schedule.
DONT MISS OUT ON THE BEST SIGHTS AND STORIES
The tour apps use your device’s location abilities to play the commentary AUTOMATICALLY. All you have to do is drive, listen and decide which places you want to stop at. Our tour guides have created an insightful and entertaining tour along the Sea to Sky Highway. We’ll recommend the best places to experience and some great locations that most visitors will drive by.

DRIVING TOUR ROUTE
This tour has commentary between Vancouver and Whistler in both directions along Highway 99, including the most popular sightseeing stops and much more:
1) Lions Gate Bridge
2) Howe Sound
3) Shannon Falls
4) The Chief
5) Squamish
6) Brandywine Falls
7) Whistler Blackcomb
Start from Vancouver or Whistler. This tour fits your itinerary if you are driving from Vancouver to the Rockies via Whistler and also if you are driving from the Rockies and BC Interior to Vancouver through Whistler.
Day tripping from Vancouver? Much of the commentary is different on the return journey, so its perfect for a day trip or weekend away.
Vancouver and Whistler co-hosted the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, but Whistler has long been considered Canadas premier alpine resort and mountain playground during summer and winter. On this tour we follow Highway 99 as it firstly hugs the shoreline of Howe Sound and then snakes through the valleys of the Coast Mountains to Whistler.
NOTES
Download the app on Wi-Fi from your network at home or use any free Wi-Fi network. Because the app is filled with audio commentary and maps, its larger than "normal" apps.
++ Continued use of GPS running in the background increases battery usage - we strongly recommend taking a cigarette style (DC outlet) car charger. This is much better than simply plugging into the USB port in a vehicle.
** iPad users - please note that WiFi-only iPads will not activate the commentary automatically. Any iPhone or network-capable iPad (WiFi + Cellular - whether you have a network connection or not) will work just fine.
