National Trails & Footpaths

Effective trail management requires accurate and up-to-date path and infrastructure information. With OTISS, your staff and volunteers can use Android phones, tablets or GPS devices, to routinely and inexpensively monitor the infrastructure (signs, stiles, bridges, etc.), path condition and tree safety on and around the trail.
