Create a travel journal with TripTracker
Monday 3 July 2006 by Edward.
TripTracker is a new web service, used to create and share travel journals online.
“The hungryhippo” records meals he ate on a trip, titled “Anthony’s Epicurean Adventure“. Gregor takes to the ocean in his trip “Sailing the southern Adriatic Sea“. My favourite journal to date is patetguy’s 213-photo record “Panamerica” — an adventure by two young Québecers — from Montréal, Canada, to Tapachula, Honduras. Their ultimate destination is “de Montréal, Qc, Canada, à la Tierra del Fuego, Argentine, et revenir”. Good luck guys!
If you have a GPS unit, a digital camera, and a written log of your trip, you can create your own online journal. TripTracker will show a map of your route with waypoints. At each waypoint you can enter a slideshow. Each photo in the slideshow can be annotated with text.
In my discusions with TripTracker, they note that they have already given some thought to licensing TripTracker map presentations to tourist agencies and tour operators. Presentations can be used for promotion of tours and travel destinations. I intend to keep my eye on this service.
