Its detailed audio guides and stories, beautifully written by professional travel writer and editor Bob Howells, use a smartphone’s GPS to deliver a customized, hands-free audio tour based on a drivers’ location. The app, guides, and built-in maps go beyond simple turn-by-turn directions and work without an Internet connection or phone service containing more points of interest and stories than any other GPS travel app.
Just Ahead offers audio guides for five National Parks, including Yosemite, Zion and Cedar Breaks, Bryce Canyon, Joshua Tree, and Death Valley. An additional 12 National Park guides are in production. Just Ahead is the honored recipient of the 2014 North American Travel Journalists Association Award for the Best Travel App.
