Meet ‘Gyro – the Blue Mountains In Your Pocket’
Gyro is here to change the way people experience the Blue Mountains, and it’s doing it with local heart and world‑class technology. Created by Ask Roz Blue Mountains, Australia’s most awarded visitor information service, and supercharged through a partnership with Google, Gyro delivers faster, smarter and more relevant local discovery than any guide that came before it.
The Blue Mountains In Your Pocket
Gyro puts over 1,000 hand‑curated listings in your pocket, with new places and experiences added constantly to keep pace with a dynamic region. From Lapstone to Hartley, the Bells Line of Road, Newnes Plateau and Mount Wilson, Gyro covers the full sweep of the Blue Mountains region so you never miss a lookout, waterfall, village, trail, gallery, café, accessible location, or family‑friendly park along the way. Every listing is created by the Ask Roz team, ensuring you see genuine, current, locally informed recommendations rather than generic lists or paid placements.
Smarter, Greener, Friction‑Free Exploration
Gyro is 100% digital and proudly zero‑waste, replacing stacks of brochures and paper maps with a sleek web app you can add straight to your phone’s home screen. It behaves just like a native app, but without the hassle of downloading or constant updating. The instant you open it, Gyro uses your location to surface what’s truly nearby, hidden gems, iconic attractions, accessible walks, dog‑friendly spots, events and more, tailored to where you are and how you like to explore.
Maps, Navigation And Your Language
Exploration shouldn’t be stressful, so Gyro builds navigation right into the experience. Fully integrated maps provide real-time, turn‑by‑turn directions to your chosen spot, helping you flow smoothly through the mountains rather than juggling multiple apps or reading printed magazines. Support for guidance in the user’s own language makes Gyro welcoming and intuitive for international visitors as well as locals hosting friends and family from overseas.
