Post Canyon Trail Map App!


'There's an App For That!' You know the current marketing slogan is pretty catchy for the Apple store. The iPhone is owned by 8.75 Million (sorta happy) customers (no wonder why ATT can't handle the service) and with over a million app's sold in the Application Store on iTunes its easy to apply an application to a specific sporting use. Well, Arthur Babitz of Hood River fame has personally experienced trail questions on his own bike rides and figured it was time to create an application that any user inside the Post Canyon Trails system could simply 'push a button' and get a pin dropped to show your exact location. This is an impressive solution and everyone at the HR Country Trails is waiting for this to be available on the iTunes App Store this winter.  Once Arthur gets the most current updated maps including the new 'Bad Motor Scooter, Sexy Beast, Mobius Strip and additions to the 'Boot Loop' it will get announced here to purchase as a portion of proceeds will be donated by Arthur back into the trails committee. Discussions of adding 'Current Trail Conditions' and 'Trail Features' were lively and the trailbuilders are hoping there will be a way to report trail damage to the specific trail stewards by using this app as well. Welcome to the George Jetson era folks. Enjoy this candid video I shot at last nights meeting of Arthur introducing his creation:
