Garmin® begins partnership with the Ramblers Worldwide Holidays

Garmin® are proud to have started an exciting partnership with Ramblers Worldwide Holidays who provide great walking holidays in spectacular locations all over the world. This partnership will involve a number of different activities including discounts, competitions, feedback and the development of the new Garmin Adventures platform. This will ensure Garmin continue to enhance the experience for their customers adding extra details to routes and increasing the sharability of customers’ activities.

Since 1946 Ramblers Worldwide holidays have been dedicated to making exploring the world on foot a fantastic experience for everyone. Ramblers Worldwide Holidays profits that are not required for the running of the business are channelled back either into the Ramblers Holidays Charitable Trust, which supports environmental conservation projects in the UK, or community projects overseas.

Adventures

Garmin Adventures provides a free, interactive way for you to swap your stories with a community of fellow explorers, brag to your buddies about your travels, or let friends and family find your favourite spots.  

You can make an adventure out of nearly anything, whether you’re climbing a mountain, hitting the highway, taming a single-track or exploring an amusement park. Just bring your GPS-enabled device with you the next time you head outdoors. You can use any device as long as it's capable of collecting and exporting track logs.  

With your journey complete and GPS data in hand, our free BaseCampTM software walks you through the process of creating an interactive timeline. You can add geotagged photos, YouTube® videos, geocaches and notes to help guide others through the details of your experience.

You can email your adventure, share it on Facebook® and Twitter®, or post it in your favorite forums. When you publish, you're also sharing your adventure with a community of fellow explorers who can see where you went and what you experienced along the way.

Your adventures live in the cloud, so you can experience them online, on your GPS device, on your phone or in BaseCamp. You can also find inspiration for your next journey by searching BaseCamp for other adventures.

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

Michael Hatch, itineraries Manager from 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 you can turn your walk into an interactive story, then share it with the world. If you are a member of a local walking group there is no better way to advertise your walks to new members”.
