The app won't let me change the area, (section of the parkway) that I wanted to focus on. So it's useless to me. I wonder how much money our government wasted on what looks to be a( badly reviewed) piece of junk. Great idea if it had been implemented correctly.

You swipe to change the region. The app was not updated for 2015 so the schedule dates are wrong.

They explained how it worked. You have to swipe sideways to change regions. Would it kill em to put a frigging arrow there? I may add more stars now that I can use ALL the info.

Great for lots of stuff... Half decent construction of the app but... Why doesn't it show the BRP road conditions like the main sight? Can't find trail map ( I use a different app instead ). Lots of good stuff, just needs to be a bit more user friendly, I'm taking it as a work in progress, will give it another star for each as added ( trail maps and live road condition map )!
