Can't say enough good things about this guided tour we downloaded for Volcano national park in Hawaii. All GPS oriented so it knows where you are, what to look for, and where to go every step of the way. Gives you all the information you need with history and stories. Even tells you places you can skip by because there will be better views up ahead possibly. Will definitely use this again for places to travel. Saves you tons on excursions if you decide to do self guided tours.
