Gather OpenTrails compatible data and plot out trailheads easily with our OpenTrails Trailhead App
Our OpenTrails app helps you gather [OpenTrails](http://archive.codeforamerica.org/specifications/trails/) compatible data on trailheads. The outputted Trailheads file contains point geometry and metadata associated with trailheads, which serve as points of access for trails. Each trailhead can serve as a point of access for multiple named trails. Data exported out of this app requires minimal [post-processing](https://gist.github.com/bmcbride/920e45c82f16563c7618) in order to generate the proper trailhead files, per the [OpenTrails trailheads.geojson specification](http://archive.codeforamerica.org/specifications/trails/spec.html). This app works offline, in cases where there is no internet access, and is easily customizable to include other data fields as well.
Traditionally, if a field engineer is allotted 8 hours to do a survey, they get 16 hours to write the report. Now report writing is almost taken from two-thirds to zero.
One of the big things you can’t really measure is buy-in from employees in the field. People that didn’t want to go away from pen and paper and the old way of doing things now come to us and have ideas for apps.
Easy to custom make data collection forms specific to my needs. Very flexible and I can add or adjust data collection information when I need it. Plus including meta data saves a lot of time.
I have used many programs for field asset inspection. Fulcrum has been the easiest to set up, use in the field, and update. The service provided by the Fulcrum team has been top-rate.
It is so easy to use. You don't have to be a GIS specialist or coder to set up the app. Just a regular person is able to set up their own app and use it.
Fulcrum is, without a doubt, the best thing I've done for my business in regards to cost saving and time efficiency. Support is very good and help, on the rare occasions it's required, is never far away.
Fantastic product. The philosophy that the data you collect is yours and you should be able to access it as easily as possible is an indication of the maturity of the product and the people behind the product.
