A GPS audio guide for Sydney that runs in your phone's browser - no...

I filmed the thing people never believe.

Every audio guide app says it works hands free. Then you start driving, open Google Maps for directions, and the guide goes quiet — because it was only ever a web page, and a web page dies the moment something else takes the screen.

Here is ours, filmed on a real drive. Google Maps has the screen and is doing the navigating, and underneath it the guide keeps naming what we just passed and which way to look. Through the car speakers. Nobody touches the phone.

Same thing with the screen off and the phone in your pocket on a walk.

160+ places in Sydney, written by me over twenty years of guiding and voiced with an AI model of my own voice, so it sounds the same from the first stop to the last. It starts from a link in your browser. If you want the pocket and the dashboard, there is a 5 MB app, no subscription.

Six days to the Sydney Marathon.

Andrew drove the whole 42 km course last week and filmed every kilometre from the driver's seat, with a distance marker on screen every 5 km — the North Sydney start, up onto the Bridge, through the C*D, the eastern suburbs, Centennial Park, and the finish at the Opera House. Two short sections run against the traffic on race day, so those had to be driven around; everything else is exactly the road runners will be on.

The video, the course map and a written section-by-section description sit on one page, free and with no sign-up: selfguideapp.com/runsyd

The map stays free the whole way. It turns with you and runs on our own tiles, so it moves instantly instead of crawling. Only the audio is paid — the part that tells you what you are passing while you pass it.

And if you would rather see the course with your own eyes before race morning than meet it cold at 7am, we do that as a private tour: we drive the 42 km together, stop wherever you want to walk a section or take a photo, and you get the city's stories along the way. sydneytourguide.com.au

Good luck to everyone racing on Sunday.

The marathon map loads on start; attractions along the course play automatically as you run. Free preview, full guide from A$35.

Coming to Sydney for the marathon on 30 August? Here is our gift to everyone running it.
We drove the entire course last week and filmed all 42 km from the car — the North Sydney start, the Harbour Bridge, the C*D, the eastern suburbs, Centennial Park and the finish at the Opera House. A distance marker on screen every 5 km, so you can see exactly what is coming.
And we built the navigation for that course: the map opens in your phone browser in about a second, nothing to install, free to use with no time limit. It also talks — as you move, it tells you what you are passing: selfguideapp.com/runsyd
Full course video: https://youtu.be/6KZUtBU30e4
