Oregon x50 Series
Dakota



“Garmin Adventures” is a new feature that allows you to easily share trips and photos and lets you find Adventures by other Garmin users. You can download a track from your GPS to BaseCamp, add some photos, videos and annotations; upload the trip as an Adventure and then share it via the Garmin Adventures web site with friends and family. BaseCamp allows you to author Adventures, and use a playback feature so you can re-live your trip. In the near future, Garmin devices will add support for Adventures as well.

The BaseCamp 4.0.0.4 gives you an early preview into Garmin Adventures. Please let us know how you like it and what you think we can improve. BaseCamp 4.0.0.4 will lead you to short surveys that will help us make Adventures a better product. If you have a minute to spare, please fill out these surveys. Thanks.

Finding Adventures



You can use BaseCamp’s find feature to locate other Adventures. You can download Adventures that you would like to take a closer look at. If you'd like to follow an adventure, just transfer it to your device.

Adventure Display and Playback



You can view details about an Adventure, and use the Playback feature. The Playback experience will be better if you have a Topo map and BirdsEye imagery. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8al8CHqOBmg for an example.

Creating an Adventure



You can create an Adventure from any track, either from My Collection or directly from your device. BaseCamp will locate photos and waypoints in the vicinity of the Adventure track. You can add annotations, YouTube videos and additional photos. It is important that you enter a good description so other can better experience your Adventure. Note that you can pick from the prepopulated list of activities or simply enter your own.

Each Adventure has its own database, so you can play around with your Adventure’s data without making any changes in your data in My Collection.

Publishing an Adventure

Once you are happy with your adventure, you can publish it. You can share a published adventure with friends and family (http://adventures.garmin.com/en-US/by/eracerz/hanakapiai-falls-trail-hike-2), you can link the adventure to your favorite social media site, you can use it to back-up your trip and download it again on a different machine and you can help fellow Adventurers find interesting stuff to do.

    If you archive an adventure then it won't show up for anyone. You can later change your mind and unarchive it again to make it show up again.

    There is no support for straight-out deleting an adventure yet. That might follow in the future.

    Currently you can only show one adventure at a time. However, you can search for all of your adventures if (in BaseCamp) you click on your username on the adventure properties page or on an adventure search result. Then BaseCamp will search for all adventures by that user that are active (not archived).

    Hello Falagar, first of all, sorry for my english.
    I created this Adventure http://goo.gl/rufK3 and have some issues:
    - it have some tracks but only one (the first one) shows distances. That's the "main" track, can I select another from Adventure to see profile, etc?
    - About profile: I can´t see the graph. I tried in Google Chrome and MS Explorer, same result in both of them.

    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,

    currently adventures only support one main track. You'd have to combine the tracks if you want to have them all displayed.

    I am not sure why the profile doesn't show up. It does show up when I download your adventure in BaseCamp. I asked a person on the web team to investigate. I will let you know once I hear anything.

    One of my colleagues actually hand-picks them. Having a nice description, great photos or having made an adventure at some really cool place increases your chances. If you made a great one, and would like to have it featured let me know.

    I have only published three thus far (that I felt were worth sharing), and was curios about submission protocols.

    Thank you.

    I hope they will look at my other two for 'consideration'.
