What a Trip Looks Like
A screenshot of the first trip recorded on MyAdventure in 2014.
The adventure trip view is designed in a way that makes sense to motorcycle riders:
- A route on the World map
- Current trip progress
- All stops the rider has made along the route are marked with icons corresponding to the type of location
- Clicking on an icon displays details related to the stop - user comments, photos and location type. Photos are automatically associated with stops by our time-based algorithm.
- A sidebar provides a trip itinerary. It displays the chronology of the trip day by day. Each day contains interactive ride details. When clicked these details center the map on the corresponding location along the route.
