I’m I. The middle of a solo road trip to several of the national parks out west. Shaka Guides have been the best companion! Turn for turn directions are spot on; I know what sites are coming up without having to shuffle around a map while driving; and the stories and facts are great! Also enjoying the music on between! I highly recommend Shaka Guides to everyone, but especially solo travelers!!

The app is constructed professionally. The guide offered practical advice to tour national parks with good recommendations of what to see and what to skip. The app has a CarPlay app so the map is easy to follow. The map lags a tiny bit so it is good to follow audio instructions for turns before the map shows the turn.
