Travelers can now transform ordinary drives into immersive sightseeing experiences with the launch of UCPlaces on Android Auto.
The GPS-guided tour platform announced today that its growing library of self-guided experiences is now accessible through Android Auto, allowing drivers and passengers to enjoy narrated city tours, scenic drives, and national park experiences directly through their vehicle’s infotainment system.
The Android Auto launch builds upon UCPlaces’ existing support for Apple CarPlay, expanding access to connected in-car travel experiences across both major automotive platforms.
The launch introduces a new way to explore destinations across the United States. From iconic cities like New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, and San Francisco to national parks across the country, travelers can now access professionally narrated experiences that automatically play as they drive.
“Travelers increasingly want experiences that are flexible, personal, and available on their own schedule. Android Auto enables us to bring guided exploration directly into the driving experience, whether someone is discovering a new city or taking a road trip through one of our national parks.”
— Uri Sperling, Founder and CEO of UCPlaces

As Americans continue to embrace road travel, interest in destination experiences beyond transportation is growing. UCPlaces’ Android Auto integration provides an alternative to traditional bus tours and guidebooks, offering private, self-guided experiences through a platform many drivers already use every day.
The expansion to Android Auto reflects a broader evolution in connected vehicle technology, where in-car platforms are becoming gateways not only to navigation and entertainment, but also to discovery and exploration.
The road itself can become part of the destination.
UCPlaces currently offers hundreds of GPS-guided experiences in all 50 states, including tours in major cities and national parks across the United States, with additional destinations continuing to be added.
