TravelTrac isn’t just one big site; it’s made
up of lots of separate networks based around recreational
and adventure travel interests. TravelTrac is a social utility
that helps active people share their unique travel experiences,
trips, and adventures with family, friends, and associates
and gives them the opportunity to make new contacts along
the way.
TravelTrac develops technologies that facilitate the efficient
dissemination of information, simply and easily, through
these common interest networks allowing people to share
their information online 24/7/365 in virtual real time whether
trekking a mountain peak in Tibet, RVing across America,
or sailing the Pacific Ocean. TravelTrac is made up of many
networks - each of which are independent and can be blocked
from uninvited viewing.
Account holders enter basic information about themselves
which automatically creates a public profile; they import
an address book of Friends and can begin sharing their travel
adventures. They can choose to create a public blog or develop
a comprehensive expedition style web site. The system integrates
custom mapping, location reporting, and weather automatically
and notifies their networks as updates are added. They can
keep a public or private journal, post photos, and video
clips - all without the need to know HTML or other programming
languages to document and store their travels. TravelTrac
lets an account holder upload as many GPS coordinates, photos,
text or blog entries, and videos files as they desire. Position
Reporting automatically updates online mapping and integrates
current and forecast weather for any given location at the
time of entry, you can geotag photos and video, add text
journal or blog entries from your mobile phone or other
remote wireless device with an enabled data package when
you can't access the internet directly. You can fall off
the grid but stay on the map – and stay connected
to family and friends from ANYWHERE in the world! Add a
measure of security and "peace of mind" for you
and your network as you venture one step beyond.
TravelTrac's public Forums provides a traveler the opportunity
to interactively participate with other registered users
and share information about their unique travel experiences.
They participate by location, sharing and ranking their
personal experiences about any destination worldwide. They
add commentary by category for accomodations, food and beverage,
attractions, or shopping and services. It allows them to
provide personal recommendations and commentary for fellow
travelers, share their trips, and common interests. Or they
can research new destinations and seeing what fellow travelers
have said about their adventures. Anyone can subscribe to
an RSS feed by destination and stay current on the most
recent happenings worldwide.
TravelTrac gives people control over what information they
share and with whom they share it. Using TravelTrac's privacy
settings, people can limit the information visible to someone
or block any individual from seeing their data completely.
The ability to control their own information means people
can stay current with their network of friends in a trusted
environment.
