Software
Software called ResortWorks, developed by FlatEarth, is used for viewing and working with the GPS data recorded on the Snowcats.
ResortWorks allows you to zoom, and pan around your data overlayed on a background map to help you better understand and visualize your groomimg operations every shift.
Grooming data can even be queried with the use of our information tool to get operational statistics for any given vehicle.
Reports can be generated based on vehicles or dates, and can be made for weeks, months and even whole seasons. You can look at data summaries for all vehicles combined or any single vehicle.
