Augment Adventure feature

The Adventure feature is a great idea and tool that has a very limited impact due to the minimal adventures you can take. I would like to suggest a few additions or changes

1- Make Adventures for the entire globe, there are hiking maps and trails for most all hiking areas along with detailed geographic data. PCT, Grand Canyon, Appalacian trail along with trails that or near your local vicinity.

2- Use your location to suggest different adventures to try locally, this way you can see if you are up to a hike before actually going out to the trail!

3-add data points for elevation along with distance so you can see if what you are hiking resembles the actual hike for training.

 

This can be an excellent feature for training and motivation. SImilar things are on stationary bikes and treadmills. This could utilize hiking data for the world and makre more of a universal impact... you could see who hiked what trails and find similar trails based on user likes and dislikes etc... you could like fitbit gps to an actual hike to get even more impactful data... actual hike vs mapped hike... so many amazing things that could be added to this feature... just look at how something Like PokeMonGo has given people extra incentive to move... and that isnt even real!

Love this idea!! Not everyone lives in Yosemite & NYC. There are FitBitters all over the world.
For FitBit to pick up on location & suggest adventures would be awesome!
Thanks!

Maybe go a bit further.  Through the app we should be able to register data from a walk and the the next time you go for that same walk you get challenged by your own time from the first walk. If your "ghost time is faster than you are currently the fit bit could inform you through a vibration.  Or maybe you go for a run and you start an adventure MODE that plots a situation a A.R. situation for you to conquer.  Out run a bear, flee from counter agents or reach a location before time runs out.  There could be a bunch of different runs that a runner can chose from and these situations could all be alerts from the fit bit device.

I would love new destinations challenges like the NYC marathon and Yosemite! I get that the development team is probably a super busy group of people, so what about having a user-submitted feature? Provide a template where people can create their own with the distance,  GPS tagged pics and maybe optional fun facts for the Jewel Challenges. That way the development team doesn't have to create a whole adventure, just review the submissions for appropriate content (and pics) and then make them accessible to all users. I'd love to share my area and the sights along my walks with the world!
