The closed parts??

So why in heavens name are the closed parts not notated on this official app?? Hurricane Helene storms last fall took out big sections of the Parkway, which remain closed, and not a mention here
:( :( :(
This app should identify closed area and alternate routes. Ridiculous

No road closure info

Nice app with static info, but would be a lot better if it had road closures embedded in the maps. The link to NPS info re: closures is fine but their table based on mile markers is challenging to use.

No Closures

Much of the Parkway is currently closed as of June 2025 but this app does not indicate any closures. Which makes it useless, since you can’t figure out where to go or how long you are on it until you get kicked off. After Helene, this would have been the #1 most helpful thing.
