Last month, the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation introduced its new Trail Tracker app, along with this advice: “Don’t hike alone … take your phone.” The app is currently in the beta testing phase. The objective is to enable park visitors to pinpoint their location on Ocean County’s trails.

While in beta mode, the app may not depict information completely and accurately. The idea is for users to help improve the app and user experience by providing the department with feedback.
