1. The book is kind of good, but you can do just fine with Google Maps searches.Without The Big Island Revealed tour app, I would've been totally lost in the island! Thanks to this app and the GPS, I was able to get to all the places I wanted to visit and never got lost.
2. We ended up using Google to verify information after having a very bad second day that ended in my husband yelling at me for buying such a terrible out dated guide book.
3. I looked up the the last update, which was 12-16-19 and reminded him that his mother recommended the guide book...Works great, but the integration with Google maps is a bit temperamental.
4. I bought the book, then bought the app thinking the app would have up to date info.
5. I hate the annual subscription idea, but looking at my guide books again I'll give the author credit.
6. It's the reason I bought the prior apps.UPDATE. I was contacted by BIR and advised to delete and reinstall using restore option.
7. This was not worth the effort! Thanks Shaka...The information in this guide is fairly hit and miss.
8. Too bad this one doesnt work.The Shaka guide was very helpful on getting around and finding places that we did not know about.
9. The books aren't enough, you need the app to use GPS to find things through your phone.
10. No updates since the book was published.
11. Arrived today on the Big Island and will need to use the internet for info.
