How It Works
Rent GyPSy Guide from one of our convenient locations. The minimum rental is for one day but most people take GyPSy Guide for at least 3 days while on Maui. We highly recommend that you reserve your GyPSy Guide before you arrive to avoid the disappointment of a location being sold out.
It's a small device (PDA) that rides along with you in your vehicle and plays commentary through the vehicle's stereo. As you drive through an area of interest, the device AUTOMATICALLY plays audio specific to that location.
The commentary is an entertaining mix of interesting stories, facts and figures, history of Maui and Hawaii, volcano geology, directions and rich Hawaiian culture, all recorded by professional tour guides. And of course GyPSy tells you what places are coming up so you can decide where you want to stop. The best thing is, the commentary starts and stops by itself because the device uses satellites to always knows where you are! You can leave the vehicle for a hike, swim, lunch or rest break and it will start up automatically at the next point.

components you need to begin touring in your rental kit.
There is an easy to follow instruction card too.
These are the steps:
- Attach the cradle to the windshield of your car.
- Attach the power cord to the GyPSy Guide computer. Plug the other end into the car’s power supply.
- Turn on the GyPSy Guide computer.
- If the car has an "Auxiliary Input" in the stereo, plug the auxiliary cable into the computer and the other end into the car’s Auxiliary Input.
- If the car does not have an Auxiliary Input, then follow the instructions to use the supplied FM transmitter instead.
- Turn on the car stereo.
- Wait for the GyPSy Guide to connect to satellites.
- Once the Gypsy Guide has enough satellites connected, you simply start driving along the GyPSy Guide route and enjoy the commentary.
Once your GyPSy Guide is set up, you don’t have to do anything else. It knows where you are and which way you are going. It will activate commentary automatically as you drive providing you with interesting information, advice and tips.
You will also receive maps that show you the routes that the GyPSy Guide follows and they will help you plan how to spend your time.
