Okanagan has GPS wine tour
Visitors to British Columbia wine trails can use a new tool. The GyPSy Guide Okanagan Wine Tour presents a self-drive tour guided by a global positioning system (GPS). The tour "speaks" at precise locations, describing points of interest, regions and wine styles. The guide can be rented from visitor centers in Kelowna, Penticton or Osoyoos, and dropped off at any of the centers. For details, visit gpstourscanada.com.
