On your first visit to a new city, you consult a tourist guidebook to help you navigate various parts of the city. What kind of a text is the guidebook?

A guide book is something that might be considered to be a "functional text". That is because its role is not to convey a message or have any deeper meaning. Its role is to help you as a guide of places that you should visit for some reason.

Answer
The kind of the guidebook used is a functional text.

Explanation;
Functional texts are those texts that are used for everyday information. They are meant to be used for the purpose of fulfilling a particular need or to solve a problem. For example in this case to help navigate the various parts of the city.
They can be reviewed quickly compared with literature or other forms of writing.
