FAQ

How do I get the GyPSy Guide into my vehicle?

The device attaches to the windshield of any vehicle so it has a clear view to overhead satellites using a suction cup that leaves no mark or damage of any kind. It has a cord that you plug into the car’s power supply (cigarette lighter). Then just tune the stereo to the same station as the device or use the direct auxiliary audio cable if the car has an audio input on the stereo.

Can I use it in a rental car?

Yes. Because the device has no effect on the vehicle and causes no damage, it can be used in any vehicle – your own or a rental. You can attach it to any type of windshield including cars, SUVs, minivans or RV's.

I already have a GPS - do I need GyPSy Guide?

GyPSy Guide is not a traditional GPS navigator or SatNav. You don't input an address and have GyPSy provide you directions only. GyPSy is a tour guide; it will give you directions to follow the tour routes that we have designed for you. The tours take you to the best places to see and do things. GyPSy knows where you are and tells you about what you are seeing. Traditional GPS units don't do this.

What will I hear about on the tours?

Our content is designed and presented by the best local tour guides to be entertaining and interesting. We want you to hear about all the interesting things in each area. There is a mixture of human history, natural history, current issues, quirky tales, and at least 20 other topics! You will enjoy a much more interesting driving tour because its like having a local guide ride along with you.

Is GyPSy Guide good value for money?

Yes! It costs about $100 per person to take a day long bus sightseeing tour. Just because you don't want to ride on a bus with strangers, doesn't mean that you don't want to learn all the interesting things in and around Las Vegas. For less than 20% of the cost of two people taking a bus tour, you can drive yourself, hear all the interesting stories and entertain your whole family. Plus you can keep it for the full 24 hours for each rental day so you can visit many more areas than a bus tour will take you to.

I'm not very good with computers. Can I still use the GyPSy Guide?

That is one of the great things about GyPSy Guide. After you attach it to your windshield, all you have to do is turn it on. Using the Global Positioning Satellites, the device always knows where you are and automatically plays a commentary relevant to your location.

What if I go off the suggested route?

It's okay if you leave the route for which there is content, you can rejoin the route later. We will provide you with maps of our routes so you can rejoin them. You can go off on your own side trips and then return to the tour.

Is it safe to use while driving?

Yes. The files are audio, so you can concentrate on the road without any need to look at the device. It requires no more concentration than listening to a radio.

But I have a guidebookand a map already?

Yes, but with the GyPSy Guide you don't have to look at the book while you are traveling. Everything happens automatically. You don't have to guess or assume you are looking at the right thing because the device lets you know when it's the right time to notice a point of interest. You will also receive a driving map in your rental kit.

Can I listen to music while I take a GyPSy Guide tour?

We think that everyone's taste in music is personal sowe do not load music onto GyPSy Guide. In many areas the commentary activates quite frequently and you won't hear a whole song before the next commentary.
