The 1st Route 66 Turn by Turn Guide is finally here!
After over a year of negotiation with our partners in America we are delighted to bring you a unique experience for our Route 66 fly drive holidays – A GPS led turn by turn navigation tour guide.
Complete North America were the first operator in the U.K. to offer the Gypsy Guide for the Canadian Rockies, a Satellite Navigation System in your car that created a virtual tour guide telling you what turns to make, talking you through points of interest as you past them and providing a wealth of history and information as you make your way through the Rockies – It’s proved to be an invaluable element to our Ultimate Canadian Rockies fly drive with rave reviews common place.
We were desperate to find something for similar for Route 66 having seen what an impact Gypsy made for our Canadian Rockies clients.
Route 66 can be notoriously hard to follow in parts with some of it having gone forever and some hidden away from the now main highways that criss cross the mid west. So now combining our new turn by turn guide with the bible of Route 66 – The EZ-66 guide, our Route 66 holidays will be the most comprehensive driving experience available for Route 66.
Our Commercial Director Roger Thompson explained – ‘We recognise that our customers will have spent several thousand pounds for the opportunity to drive this world famous road. Now for as little as £17 per day they can immerse themselves in the history of the ‘Mother Road’ as they drive along safe in the knowledge that they will stay right on track the whole way’.
Currently we can offer collection of a complete Satellite Navigation system pre-loaded with the turn by turn guide for £17 per day. This unit will be waiting for you at your first hotel on our fly drive tours and will be dropped off at the designated office at the end of the tour on Santa Monica pier – That is the official end of the road so is a must for all visitors.
We are currently working to have a supply of the EZ-66 guide shipped to the UK, we anticipate this will be available shortly at around £15-£20.
This really is a ground breaking development for people visiting Route 66. We believe by offering the GPS turn by turn guide, no one-way drop off fees on car rental, deals at all the famous motels and inns and the opportunity to speak to a member of our sales team who has driven the route, we have firmly established Complete North America as the premier tour operator for Route 66 fly drive holidays.
Add the GPS turn by turn service to your Complete North America Route 66 Holiday today for £17 per day.

Hello.
The product is designed to work on a Garmin Zumo. Our tours can be tailored to include just the software for you to download to your own Garmin Zumo unit with USA maps or we can rent the whole unit for you. Thank you.
I would like to take the opportunity to fly drive holiday on route 66. Please send e the details for oct/nov 2012
The EZ-66 guide was a real help to us but we didn’t get to buy one until we got to Springfield, wish we had been able to get our hands on one before we had set off, a really useful resource and a must buy!
Hello Dave.
It’s taken some considerable effort and cost to get the guides shipped but they are now on the way to the U.K. for people who book our Route 66 tours for 2012.
