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. 

Yukon I know you and Nutter are both very dedicated volunteers and have put in many seasons of long hours volunteering for clubs as have many other members on this forum.  It’s greatly appreciated!!   I want to believe the Carden trails are sustainable.  Mostly un assumed roads and road allowances so should not requires as much snow and less challenging grooming then many other trails.   Swampy areas need a good freeze.   Let’s hope for a good winter and good trails.   I know a number of us will be trying to help out with the Local trails when they get going.    

Personally I don't think using the App for calculating trail % cuts or for calculating anything is a good idea. I don't believe a majority of riders are using the app when they are riding. JMHO

I will also like to add, that all clubs and districts were invited to a town hall meeting, late spring, where our clubs/districts had a voice in this initiative    We were all asked, should it be a OFSC decision, or club/district decision where we come up with the strategy and report back.   We were all given the opportunity to report back with a plan.   Clubs/Districts wanted it this way.   Can't blame big brother, but some seem to want it to go that way.   There is the transparency for you all.
