It provides a centralised, user-friendly platform for land users to map routes for future users to follow, and access privately owned land for a small fee.

Land users can report incidents or emergencies immediately via the app, and landowners get instant notifications. Landowners can also see who has permission to use their land and who is on their land at any time.
