What is the point of travelling along a road and being fed recordings of what happens while travelling along that road?

That's almost as daft as those service stations where you can drive for 80 miles, stop and get out of your car, into the service area where there are machines that you can play on, that simulate you driving your car for 80 miles.....

Give me a guide book I can dip in and out of any day - but a recording of local music would be fine, if I didn't have to play it to find out where I was!
