Your feedback is critical. We began using the Richta GPS Checkpoints system this season and everyone is still learning.
1. Do you know what a Broadcast Message is, in the context of a rally using Richta apps?

3. Android or iOS device?
4. Did you receive any Broadcast Message(s) during or after the rally?
If you did get one or more messages:
5. When did you receive message that adjusted NRIs to get around road closure?
6. When did you receive message amended to warn about elk?
7. When did you receive message to fix NRI 77 (adding MBCU)?
