"Hi Katie & Will,
I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed having the Gaper Guide on our recent tour of the Tetons and Yellowstone. It was great! The first thing we loved was the crescendo of music when you crested the hill going north from Jackson and got your first view of the Tetons. It was great to have the information about the area as we were traveling. We also took many of the little detours (one of which got us stuck behind a buffalo for awhile, but I guess that's pretty commonplace). As we were leaving, we'd seen almost all the animals on our wish list, except a bull moose. On a whim, we took the road between Teton park and Teton village and just when Carlton said that moose like to hang out at this one particular spot, there he was.
On Katie's advice, we stopped at the Heart 6 Ranch for breakfast. It was great.
I've been telling everyone about your wonderful service. I hope you do well.
Thanks again,"

"Just wanted to let you know our thoughts on the Gaperguide!
My husband, grandma and I loved the GaperGuide! It was informative on turnouts and lookout points before we passed them. It also helped entertain us through over 500 miles of driving in Yellowstone! We enjoyed the jokes and loved hearing Colter the moose talk! It also allowed the driver, my husband, to really learn about the area while driving, since my grandma and I could look at maps. Overall, it was an enjoyable guide and we were thankful we rented it! Thank you for the wonderful service!
Sincerely,"

"Wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed our Gaper Guide while we are in Yellowstone decouple of weeks ago. The information was informative and presented in a very entertaining way. We thought it was hilarious that the guide made comments that followed our own comments and conversations (ex: 'that Ranger sure was nice'). I also liked that there was a different info as you went a different direction on the same road.
All in all, a great product that I would highly recommend to anyone going to Yellowstone."

"I just want to let you all know that we really appreciate the hard work you put into the Gaper Guide. It was a huge help to us!! Before we arrived, I sat down with a couple who stay in Montana for a month at a time and they gave me four hours of information. Almost everything that they recommended, ya’ll did too! Between the both, we saw so much. I think you are on the right path for success. I will promote it to everybody I talk to. If you ever want to do something like that in Florida, let me know. Thanks again."

The GPS enabled tour guide sits comfortably on your vehicle’s dashboard. As the GPS unit identifies where you are, it points out interesting facts, local history and stories of the legends of the national parks. So instead of trying to read a guide book as you make your way through the parks, this devise will act as your personal tour guide... The guides are available from May 15th to October 15th and must be reserved in advance at the Gaper Guide website: GaperGuide.com."

"We really enjoyed the Gaper Guide! It is great how you make it interesting for adults and children. (Even the teenagers in our group thought it was cool!) Everyone in our group had some laughs and learned a lot of facts about the area. We really liked how the information was presented. We dreaded being part of a tour group-the Gaper Guide allowed us the freedom to tour what we wanted when we wanted."

"The Gaper Guide was fantastic. It was useful and fun. We ended spending 14 hours driving through the park and the Gaper Guide kept us entertained the whole trip. We've already recommended the product of several people-a great idea.
Best of luck.”

In-car guides for Yellowstone and Grand Tetons
by Christine Sarkis
"While driving from California to Boston a few years back, I spent a lot of time wondering what I was seeing out the window. There's so much time to digest information on a long road trip, and I really wished for a way to soak in the cultural and natural history of the areas we passed on our way east.
So you can imagine how excited I was when I read about GaperGuides, a GPS dashboard guide to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The guide senses your location and plays local history, interesting stories, and fun facts through your car speakers. I imagine it's like being on an interesting tour without having to ride in an uncomfortable bus or sit behind loud talkers who take pictures of themselves flexing their muscles in front of every scenic outlook."
