[pct-l 31] Re: eTrails app

[Susan Virnig]

Dear Hikers,

I got this note from David “Money” Harris who was the force behind
eTrails.  Understandable, but sad — really loved that app, especially for
us section hikers, but also for anyone who loved information about the land
we were hiking through.

Safe and happy trails,
Susan from Spokane/Sunshine


Susan,

I’m sorry to disappoint - I dropped eTrails last year.  I think you and I
are the only ones who were using it, and I was paying $100 a year to keep
it in the app store and had to periodically fix things that Apple broke
with upgrades.

I licensed all the data to FarOut guides.  They adopted a bunch of my trail
data and waypoints, but I don’t think they did anything with the
descriptions.\

Have a great trip!

:(

David

I can confirm that it appears to be gone, or not

involved in this.
