You’re going on a long drive across the U.S. or through several European countries. Grab your MP3 player car-kit and the CD you ordered (no fancy equipment is necessary). The audio tour guide points out interesting landmarks and history, of course, but also suggests where to turn, advises about restaurants & lodging, and assists with important rest room decisions.

It has segments specifically for you, along a route you’ve selected. It plays your favorite tunes, and even has stories, jokes and games for the kids. There are many options you can customize. Get your disc made locally, order it, or have it done online and download & burn it to CD yourself.

Each segment is timed, based on your vehicle, distance, speed limits, etc. It allows for travel variations – “Pause the disc now, and start it playing again at mile marker 275”, etc.
