RoadTour has teamed up with the AA to offer 30 best drives across the UK.

Following on from their excellent Heritage and Pubs & Restaurants guides (reviewed by PocketGPSWorld here) the AA best drives guides navigate from your doorstep to the start of the AA route.

Once there it will guide you along the route pointing out history, famous locations and other interesting snippets.

With 2 regions already available and 4 more coming soon, each region will offer you between 4 and 6 scenic routes varying from 95 to 300 miles in length. Drive them all or drive short sections as it suits you.

Each route is accompanied by a PDF document with a map, suggested stopping points and descriptions of all the locations. Each region costs £9.95 and is available for download direct from RoadTour.

Comments Posted by Mojay on Fri Aug 20, 2010 12:17 pm I downloaded the Road Tour for Garmin free demo, and installed it on my nuvi 255. It's there in the list of extras, but I can't find out how to activate it. How close do you need to be to a site before it makes an announcement? I was almost at the gates of Forde Abbey in Dorset, but it stayed silent. Something not right about this.   Posted by PhilHornby on Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:21 pm Mojay Wrote: It's there in the list of extras, but I can't find out how to activate it.

If they've used MP3 audio for this product, it won't play on your Nüvi 255 at all... ...I'm surprised you didn't at least get a default 'Bong, Bong' though.   Posted by toaster on Fri Aug 20, 2010 10:01 pm PhilHornby Wrote: If they've used MP3 audio for this product, it won't play on your Nüvi 255 at all... ...I'm surprised you didn't at least get a default 'Bong, Bong' though.
