MAYFIELD — Anyone with a cellular smartphone can now use a new app that has been launched to help improve customers’ safety on leisure trails. The Henry D Ross III Memorial Fund Inc. Has advanced a Recreational GPS primarily based alert app known as Send It. The Send It app will allow customers to mark viable dangers with skinny ice, debris, and ice heaves in addition to top conditions. Active customers will then be able to receive alerts when they are near any of the viable hazards. “The app is for any form of exercise, for everybody going on trails to alert users of risks,” Ross said. “It’s a manner for off- avenue recreation to communicate about situations around them.” The app was recently released in Android and Apple shops. Maria Ross said the app became to Androids on Friday and Apple shops on Monday. Ross said the concept for the app got here while ice fishing. “I watched humans all go through the identical section of skinny ice, and there was no way to alert them,” Ross stated. To have fun with the reputable release of the app, the Henry D Ross III Memorial Fund is web-hosting an app release party at three p.m. on Saturday. At Lanzi’s. Before the release celebration, there will also be a memorial snowmobile run to demonstrate the app. The run will depart midday at The Hut/Big Franks in Mayfield, heading to Sports Island Pub. The run will go away to Sports Island Pub around 2:30 to move to Lanzi’s, with the run concluding there.
Anyone collaborating inside the run can download the Send It app before the event. The Henry D Ross III Memorial Fund became formally established as a 501c3 in December 2017 to create an undertaking secure and give again to the network in honor of Henry Ross, who died in a sad snowmobile twist of fate on Dec. 23, 2016. Henry Ross was using across Sacandaga Lake when his sled veered off to the proper and struck a massive rock. That effect prompted Ross and the sled to attack some other pile of rocks 75 toes from the preliminary impact. Most of the investment raised has gone toward developing the app, costing $20,000. Still, the memorial fund has also been donated to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, the Mayfield Fire Department, and the Regional Food financial institution. Ross stated she expects them to have the second section of the app after customers get familiar with it.
