### 1/5 — A well meeting but limited app

*2025-03-06*

While I appreciate the effort to make closure information more accessible, the limitations are laughable.

Anyone planning out their next section of hiking is going to be interested in seeing closures and notices listed in the order they’ll be encountered. Alas, the “list” view doesn’t do this. In fact, it’s not even a list, it’s tiled images grouped into regions. Is sorting by mile marker really that hard?

Worse, PCTA makes you accept a huge disclaimer that their app shouldn’t be the only source of information consulted. I couldn’t agree more! Too bad PCTA’s legal team and its developers aren’t on the same page. The app provides no export function.

Dedicated mapping apps do a much better job of layering information. It’s in everyone’s best interest (hikers, landowners, conservationists, SAR) to encourage use of third party apps, but the PCTA has decided to lock their transformation of published closure data into the app itself.

We’re all accustomed to paywalls. What unclear is why a nonprofit would use one.
