Warn the public from the trail

A task or a structure can now warn trail users from where the crew is standing, and the field app's home screen counts what you are warning about. Plus points and infrastructure with more than one type, trail wetness and the full build estimate.

Release notes

One account for every chapter

Umbrella accounts bring a whole association under one account, with an impact page and a one-page PDF built for funders. Plus volunteer hours you can stand behind, workdays apart from paid jobs, and tasks that say what they will take.
Release notes

Build a bridge from what is already in the shed

Describe a crossing and get the stringers, the deck, the hardware, three drawings and a cut list — priced against your own timber. Plus machines, hours and service in inventory, and search that understands plain words.
Release notes

One product, one look

Nearly every screen redrawn on a single design — the dashboard, the field app, and the app your trail users report through — plus an expense queue a manager can clear in one sitting.
Release notes

You choose when the crew updates

The field app used to decide when to install a new version. Now nothing installs itself, every version is there the day it ships, and we choose when your crew is told.
Release notes

The documentation is public, and updates are yours to take

Forty-two articles now readable with no account, nothing installs itself on a crew's phone any more, and trail conditions count the rain that actually fell.
Release notes

The person who walked it beats the forecast

Trail inspections are five taps on a phone, and a recent walk now outranks the model in the trail-conditions engine. Plus an Overview you can plan a week from.
Release notes

Your home screen, your order

Arrange the field app home screen the way your crew works, get every planned trail offline without visiting it first, and keep a recorded line even when the upload fails.
Release notes

Lend a trail without handing over the keys

Give another organization one trail — read-only, or with the maintenance — and take it back whenever you like. Plus workspaces shaped for trail builders, and proposals a client can read.
Release notes

Design a trail before you walk it

Suggested lines that respect the grade you asked for, priced and rated as they arrive; section redraw, undo and compare on the phone; and contour, slope and aspect overlays on every map.

Read it, then try it

The free plan is a real workspace, not a trial: your trails, your crew, the field app offline.
