Enhance your holiday experience with a GPS device

30th April 2013 Print

Ramblers Worldwide Holidays have teamed up with Garmin Adventures, pioneers in GPS technology, to provide a free, interactive way for clients to swap stories with friends, family and fellow travellers en-route in real time.

This is designed to greatly enhance the holiday experience and is the ultimate in social networking!

As long as clients come armed with their GPS device they can access Garmin's free 'BaseCamp' software where one can create an interactive timeline, add geotagged photos, YouTube videos, geocaches and notes to guide others through one's RWH experience. Clients can then share their adventures via email, Facebook or Twitter thus broadening the community of fellow explorers.

Garmin's 'BaseCamp' is also useful when searching for inspiration for the next adventure.

Michael Hatch, Itineraries Manager for Ramblers Worldwide Holidays said, "Recording a walk with your GPS is great, but the real fun starts when you upload it to your computer.  Using Garmin 'BaseCamp' and Garmin Adventures  can turn your walk into an interactive story, enabling you to share it with the world.  If you are a member of a local walking group there is no better way to communicate your walks to new members."

Greg Vulinovic, Outdoor Product Manager for Garmin in the UK said, "We feel Ramblers Worldwide Holidays are the perfect partner in helping make Garmin Adventures the go to place for sharing and exploration of activities within the Outdoor community."
