Drive and Guide Teide-Taganana

Drive-and-Guide is a GPS-based application which navigates and guides you through Tenerife in your own car. This is the English language version of our longest one day excursion – starts from Las Americas, leads through the Teide and Taganana and arrives at Santa Cruz. The total route is almost 200 kms long (plus driving home), we provide more than 200 mins of guiding. If you have driven through this excursion all the way you can say that you have experienced a significant part of what Tenerife can offer.
In order to start an excursion, D'n'G will first launch Google Navigation (if you do not have google maps installed on your phone, the current version of D’n’G will not work).
Google will then navigate you from your home base to a designated "D'n'G meeting point", which is conveniently a petrol station.
At the "meeting point" your guided excursion can be started with one click. D'n'G will then navigate and entertain you through the whole excursion.
In the unlikely case of you getting off the track, do not worry, D'n'G will notice the mishap, and will safely guide you back to a point where you can re-join the excursion.
Drive and Guide is working also in the background in case you want to have another app running in the foreground or you want to switch off your screen.
For your best D'n'G experience, connect your phone to the car audio system.
As all GPS-based applications D'n'G is also a battery-intense application. Therefore, please make sure your phone is being charged while D'n'G is running.
D'n'G will synchronise with your pace. D'n'G speech is adjusted to your driving speed. Drive at an easy pace, and you won't miss a word. You can stop and start again anytime and D'n'G always will know where you are, and always will have an idea, which is the nicest little detail of the landscape around you.
D'n'G's stories will keep sounding the most time of your driving, so prepare for a whole day of entertainment. D'n'G covers subjects of history, climate, geology, botany, ecology, cuisine, and has recommendations where and when to stop for the nicest coffee or lunch break.
D'n'G is aware that you are busy driving your car. D'n'G speaks softly and clearly. Your attention won't be overburdened.
D'n'G works mostly autonomously and by means of spoken instructions, so that you won't need to watch the display, or push any buttons. You can keep your eyes on the road and enjoy the views around while using D'n'G.
D'n'G is conceived by Szabolcs Gavaller, who is a licensed tourguide working on Tenerife since 1998.
D'n'G has a navigation display and text hints, in a case you need a double-check.
D'n'G speech is adjusted to your driving speed. Drive at an easy pace, and you won't miss a word.
While using D'n'G you can also listen to your music while on the road. D'n'G is compatible with music player applications, so that your music will be faded until D'n'G is speaking.
