How does it work?

What does it do?

If you are a technical person then this is a good answer for you. If your'e not, just know that it works and it's fun!

Using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology, software built into your SmartAlec can figure out exactly where you are on the map. The SmartAlec uses this map to trigger information that is relative to your exact location only.
Pretty awesome isn't it?  Since SmartAlecs are GPS based this means that each device has to have a decent view of the sky above. Although they need to see the satellites in the sky, they still work in most types of weather.

Our SmartAlec is tour guide, almost as good as a real life local friend. Since the SmartAlec always knows your current location, it will tell you interesting stories, legends, trivia and history related to each area of interest you visit. SmartAlecs also give you suggested directions to popular routes that visit places like Mount Rushmore, Deadwood, SD, Crazy Horse, Needles Highway and Custer State Park. Not only will it suggest you see these places but the best part is that it will also suggest you see secret spots that only the locals know. Now thats some good stuff!

Easy to Install

1) Take your SmartAlec touring kit and follow these simple steps for putting it into your car.
2) Stick your windshield holder to your windshield somewhere safe and out of the way. You can also use other holder options like the cup-holder or the air vent mount.
3) Plug in the FM Transmitter into the headphone jack of the SmartAlec and set it in a safe place.
4) Tune your radio into 102.9 to hear your SmartAlec play through the radio.
5) Push the power button located at the top of the SmartAlec and wait for the introduction.

That's all you have to do!
