That’s an interesting initiative, and potentially with some ramifications for Aus. Two of the 3 apps they target as key hiking apps in the USA -  Gaia and AllTrails - are commonly used in Aus. I imagine that the app developers would respond positively, as it would benefit their users. App take up would presumably await widespread adoption of the tagging scheme in the USA. If both of those things happened, Aus users would probably get the same rendering as US users (since both apps are very US focused), so we’d also be on the receiving end of the initiative, for users of these apps at least. Happy new year to all.
