Maybe that's why they created plan a route feature. Unless app open I doubt it can track you but I am not sure.  

Hopefully the bridge a few kms from the old Carden shed can get fixed. Its been 3 summers now, since a logging truck made it not passable for any groomer.

The Brp go App mirrors the Go Snowmobiling app, same data..

It’s the details that count.  If the app tracks traffic patterns even when not open it might provide decent trail usage profiles.  I bet a good percentage of riders have the app and ride with their phones.  If it has to be open and running then the info is less useful for sure.  Wonder if they get usage data from brp go as well.  

I agree. I only check odd intersection and then put phone away. Also some areas have no cell coverage, even happens in south in a few areas too. They are trying to use tools they have I suppose.
