It is an interesting technique to give a self guided tour. The mapping technology is a bit buggy, but not insurmountable. The tour is interesting, but I found some of the stops really uninteresting. “The oldest outdoor park in Canada.” Okay, kind of cool, but it just looked like a park. :) Fun, if you have the time.

Nice but there's no smooth transition between the destinations. You have to have your phone open all the time.
