Hi all

We are in the process of developing a new app for the 4wd community to address multiple problems involving route planning, such as the problem of not knowing the conditions or difficulty of a track prior to attempting it since they change day to day.

The app collects data from users as they traverse tracks and analyses it to determine track conditions everyday. It provides basic information such as traffic on a track including the types of vehicles and their setup/mods to help you plan your route.

It also develops personalised track difficulties and grades according to your car, setup and driving history - so you don't bite off more than you can chew.

The app works offline and is completely automated, but users can also manually add points of interest and photos of tracks.

The app is still in development but will be released soon. If you would like to have early access to the beta version sign up at Newtracs.com

Let us know what you think - any feedback is welcome!

Thanks
Red

Sounds like a great idea, will it be a one off app fee? Has the price been established? Is there on going fees? And easy to discontinue?
