The Adventure Guide website is shutting down

[ADVGD]

At the end of January 2014 the Adventure Guide website (www.adventureguide.co.nz (http://adventureguide.co.nz/)) will no longer exist. The good news is that it is being replaced with a completely redeveloped version dedicated to adventure riding and route planning. Since August 2013 development of this new website has been full-on from both myself and a full-time programmer. The result is a new website with a huge number of new features and improved functionality making the task of researching and planning routes easier and better.

One of the main drivers behind this new redevelopment was that the size of the route files became so large on the existing website they began to crash browsers. The new website will handle larger quantities of route files with ease. The current downside is that the Adventure Guide website has had no GPS routes added for nearly 4 months however once the new website is launched it will have a huge number of new routes and features added to the map which have all been stockpiled from the last few months of riding.

2014 represents a pretty exciting milestone. After seven years of picking away at the Adventure Guide website in my spare time, I now move over to working on this project basically full-time. After Christmas and New Years is all said and done, the key on the bike is turned and I hit the road for 12 months. The destination is every tarmac/gravel road and 4X4 track in the South Island. I'll be uploading route files on the move from hotels, motels, holiday parks etc along the way. I'll start a new thread following the progress of the route for those interested.

The release date for the new site is February 1st, 2014. Up until this time the Adventure Guide website will still be available for use.

Happy riding for the Christmas/New Year/holiday period, I may see you on the road!

What a dick. Had me worried for a second there :lol:

Enjoy your time on the road and keep up the good work dude. Yours and the tramper website have to be the best around for planning out trips around the country.

Great site. Please keep the drz build bit. Watch out for stock on the roads they can spoil ya fun.

Best of luck to you, so far it's been an awesome resource planning trips to the lower island... :banana:

Any plans to get some North Island stuff on there? (If there is it doesn't seem to show up on my browser (may be a silly question)) :scratch:

[ADVGD]

Thanks for the kind words guys :niceone:

The DRZ build stuff has an even better "Bike Building" section in the new site. Bigger, better, gooderer

Over the years I've had a bunch of requests for North Island routes being added to the website. Being a born and bred North Islander myself (Waikune), I thought it'd be rude not to address this. The new website rebuild has been redesigned to fully support the North Island however this will be slower in content as I am focusing on the South Island full time over 2014. I am working with a couple of people with the aim they will be taking on the North Island sections of the new site in the same manner that I am taking on the South Island, I'll update once the outcome is finalised

New website update

The programming development is rocking along!! The new domain has just been set up on the server and synced with the development server, all the design skins are being transferred over, the back-end administration panel for uploading articles will be ready in approximately 10 days which will see the transfer of the existing articles plus the uploading of a huge stockpile of routes, huts, campsites etc. The most exciting part at this stage however is that the first smartphone app will be complete in approximately 7 days.

All going well the estimated launch date is between February 1st and February 10th

[pouakai]

Awesome work! Cheers

[ADVGD]

Progress on the website is going well but many programming challenges along the way plus the addition of even more new features that are taking a little extra time. Launch date will be a little postponed, but should be well worth the wait.

I've managed to GPS log a ton of new routes over the last month, some of them are absolute gems. I'm back home at the moment for some much needed repairs to the bike but heading back out on the road later this week

Launch date should not be too far away...

[thepom]

Looking forward to it..

Greetings all, Josh here (previously ADVGD), now posting under a new name for the new website.

The website has not been launched as yet but here is a sneak peek at the first promo video:

Hey ya Tazz, minor DNS propagation issue as a result of the server shuffle around. It'll be back up shortly and will be up until RemoteMoto kicks in

Cheers mate

The RemoteMoto website is very near launch state and although horrendously over-due and over-budget, the launch date is not too far away.

I'll keep you in the loop when the final release date is confirmed...

Cheers

[Waihou Thumper]

Nice stuff....
I can see a Country Calendar episode coming soon...:)
This will be the definitive ADV guide for New Zealand, I am sure about that...
Great Stuff Josh...
I am not a fisherman, but tramper, yes, I can see a load of merit for all parties alike here...

Nothing beats video and the real deal....Photos are cool, but this is living it from the couch..:)

Thanks for your kind words, much appreciated! With the feedback from the website testers I don't think you'll be disappointed with the final result.

[RMOTO]

Progress Update:

progress is coming along remarkably well. The point has been reached where over the last week there have been some testers in the new RemoteMoto website reporting predominately positive feedback. We have ramped up into overdrive to address the long list of development items still requiring completion. Carl has joined the team to take on the role of transferring the routes and other content from Adventure Guide across to RemoteMoto. All the routes and huts have now been successfully transferred across, the remaining content should be transferred across over the next few days.

At this stage the proposed release date of the 15th could be achieved if everything falls into place, failing that the end of the month should see the site completed and launched.

[Padmei]

Apologies for interrupting a mature, educational & inspirational thread however i can't get past the fact that your website sounds very much like this...

I can’t say that had any influence on the RemoteMoto name selection however I do like MotoMoto’s swagger with the ladies

[RMOTO]

The RemoteMoto website displays images at 750 pixels wide. Kiwibiker does not allow images of this size and it is simply unfeasible to allocate the time to resize images just for this forum when other forums allow this size and much larger. So out of respect for the Kiwibiker moderators I will not post images here and break the rules. I have instead stated a new thread over on ADVrider (http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=992319)with photos of the RemoteMoto action:

[RMOTO]

Hi all, launch is so close I can almost smell it!

The additional development work to the website has blown out far beyond initial project plans. This is primarily due to adding more and more cool new features which isn't actually a bad thing. Anyone familiar with the software development industry will know how projects can blow out, however the good news is we will still stick to the launch date at the end of this month. The bad news is, all the time spent on the extra software development and testing has meant that the uploading of content has not had the time required to have everything up for launch. At this stage the plan is to still launch at the end of this month on the basis that users of the site should be aware that the functionality is now in place but there is still a lot more content to follow.

Not long to go now…

[Tazz]

So the rider thing is for people to upload content from other areas? Or a secret forum? Mailing list? Sorry if I've missed something but just curious what the go is.

Your global domination ambitions are sounding promising too.

Thanks Tazz :niceone:
A completely valid question. With all the time spent on development, very little time has been allocated to website usage instructions.

There are a couple of very good reasons behind having a "Riders" account. Primarily the tyre reviewer and product reviewing functionality plays a big part. Basically the internet has a lot of great information posted by genuine/experience adventure riders and you can take their advice with confidence. Unfortunately, the internet is also laced with rubbish information posted by non-adventure oriented riders, companies trying to push their own products, companies trying to rubbish/tarnish somebody else's products, spammers, affiliate marketers etc.

Hundreds of hours have been spent designing, developing and testing the tyre reviewer. This would all be in vain if the above-mentioned people were allowed access to RemoteMoto and able to review tyres as the tyre review accuracy would be detrimentally diluted. Because only genuine adventure riders can register as a RemoteMoto Rider, the reviews on RemoteMoto will have the highest accuracy possible. Not only that, you are able to view individual reviews from someone who may have a similar bike or similar riding style as you and see real life examples with high accuracy.

As for the global domination, indeed. It is my plan to erect 75 foot bronze statues of myself in each of the countries I ride to and setup RemoteMoto in! I'm just still working on a feasible way to carry said statues on my bike.

[thepom]

Only 75 foot ?......

[Night Falcon]

huge effort! signed up :banana:

[Crim]

from the telegraph,

When the gas-rich Caspian nation began demolishing the “Arch of Neutrality” last August, it was taken as a sign that the intense personality cult surrounding country’s former leader Saparmurat Niyazov was at an end.
Niyazov, or “Turkmenbashi, father of all Turkmen,” built the Arch in 1998, placing a 39ft gold-plated statue of himself at its pinnacle. The statue revolved slowly throughout the day, so that the great leader’s face always caught the sun.
Last week, the new statue’s immense concrete tripod base had already been completed, and a crane hovered ready to put in the final piece — the gold rotating statue itself.
“It’s going to be exactly the same as before, only more beautiful,” said a workman guarding the site on Friday. “It will have a fountain underneath and a restaurant on the top, and yes, it’s going to revolve and have a statue of RMOTO.”

Just a quick heads up, this is the last week we give away a free RemoteMoto sticker and 200 RemoteMoto points to new RemoteMoto Rider signups.

To those of you that have signed up this month many thanks! Your RemoteMoto sticker will be in the post on Friday

[Gremlin]

I'm loving the content, but (without bursting your bubble) it's got the same detail as the adventure guide site? At least for me, some info on the route, some pictures, grade of ride etc. Only thing added is a points system, so you have to submit stuff before having points to unlock stuff... tbh, I don't like it, but, if you're after others providing some content, I can understand.

Of course, not exactly a problem as I currently have 400 points :laugh: (cheers). I was going to ask how the hell it worked, but then found it under my own profile... would have thought it would make more sense closer to "about remotemoto"? If you unlock a route (which I haven't done) does it unlock all pics, or is that a further unlock?

Am I able to add routes? For example, I've got data and pictures for Skippers and Kenepuru Sound, but you don't have the routes available yet. I do however thank you for this, as I will now have a swagger in my step for the afternoon, having been somewhere the great Rmoto hasn't :niceone:

Otherwise, all good... I'll keep adding photos and stuff as time allows. I'm actually surprised, as a North Islander (and certainly not a adv junkie) just how much I've got available...

edit: Also, an option to de-select all on the map would be handy. Having to de-select at least half the options every time to declutter the map gets tedious.

I agree with most of this and had a chat with a mate about it, mainly concerning things like people producing crap content (made up review) just to get the points to unlock a route and the lack of being able to post your own content.

The own content I've wondered about, bit of a kettle of fish with land access and the like to some areas unless it is something you are personally up on the play with, however people being able to submit things for you to check over would have to be a good thing? Also when you are sorting out dudes overseas having it so others can submit as well might help if they get a bit slack or anything overtime on the whole thing? (Slightly less micromanaging for you?). I am not sure what is available worldwide but I certainly think the ambitions you have hinted at for it are not unacheivable at all.

I did note though that the locked route I stumbled on was SH1 between Chch and Timaru or something, which isn't anything I felt like I was missing out on ;)

They are nitpick things and I'm very appreciative of all the effort (and I'd imagine recently $$$) you've put into this and the old version which has been incredibly helpful on a number of trips.

Everything you submit is put into a holding queue before it's available, basically to make sure it's decent quality.

I uh... broked your website :rolleyes: (didn't take long). I've attached the error. I suspect it was something around creating an article, not selecting a category and then trying to upload pictures? On that note, I want to add Danseys Pass Coach Inn (either food or accommodation) and can't see how to add an article?? like that? Categories I got was Bike Building, Gear Prep, Rider Prep. So I was going to see if I could leave the category out of it for you to fix later... but then all that red writing... and I cried :crybaby:

Also, I think I stumbled across something somewhere to upload videos? Can't seem to find it now, but logic said it would be within the route details page like pics... nope. Possible or better to link to Youtube? Is that supported?

edit: ooh, one other idea for you to contemplate. If someone adds content to a route or suchlike, perhaps it unlocks that route for them automatically at a no point cost (as well as points for content)? The pedant in me is going to want to unlock everything simply because... except I have no idea how many points that needs...

[Tazz]

Ahh, I don't have anything I feel is worth contributing yet review wise so didn't tinker with and see that :sweatdrop

Could add some routes though ;) however pulling finger and contributing some ride reports would be a good way to do that too.

Hi Gremlin, thanks for your feedback. All positive feedback and constructive criticism is welcomed as it will simply result in RemoteMoto improving and be a better resource for everyone. Probably the easiest way to identify the differences between RemoteMoto and Adventure Guide is, Adventure Guide had 176 map features and RemoteMoto currently has 497 with an average of five new features being added each day. RemoteMoto has new map features such as fuel stations, mechanical services, accommodation, cafes, bars and restaurants etc. Here are two images showing the difference between the old Adventure Guide map and the new RemoteMoto map.

Old Adventure Guide website

New RemoteMoto website
http://www.remotemoto.com/public/RemoteMoto-map-samp-400-450.jpg

The article you submitted for increasing the grip diameter (Increasing Diameter of Grips (http://www.remotemoto.com/articles/increasing-diameter-of-grips/)) is one of the new Bike Building area features. That's a great article by the way and exactly how it was intended to be utalised to share valuable info with other riders. The Gear Prep, Rider Prep and Tyre Reviewer are also new features.


so you have to submit stuff before having points to unlock stuff... tbh, I don't like it, but, if you're after others providing some content, I can understand.

Routes can be unlocked with RemoteMoto points. When you unlock a route you get full access to all of the route’s details including all the information about the route, a downloadable GPS file, land owners information (where applicable), reviews on the route, updates on the route, photo sets of the route plus it also unlocks all of the features associated to that route such as fuel stations cafes accommodation and all of their associated reviews, updates etc. when you unlock a route, this remains in your account without an expiration.

RemoteMoto Points will be able to be purchased or you can contribute ride reports, reviews, tyre reviews, photo sets in return for RemoteMoto Points.

Although this may be a new concept to many, the goal for RemoteMoto is best described in RemoteMoto’s slogan: The ultimate resource for planning the ultimate adventure.

Because there are overheads to produce such a high level of quality articles, this unlocking system is used in aim to offer a fair solution for:

a) those that are happy to pay a small fee to unlock a route

b) those that would rather make the most out of the photos they have or share their knowledge on products/workshop tricks plus the enjoyment of sharing their ride reports and get access to the route content without having to part with a cent.

Keeping in mind most route unlocks are around 20 cents to 40 cents. To put together are great ride with half a dozen route unlocks is only going to set you back a couple of dollars. If you compare this to the time involved to acquire all the information of such high quality information, it really is a great deal. Time is better spent in the saddle riding rather than chasing information.

The objective of RemoteMoto is not to be a substandard free resource, it is to be the best resource for those that appreciate quality. I understand the format may not suit everyone, and that's ok.



Otherwise, all good... I'll keep adding photos and stuff as time allows. I'm actually surprised, as a North Islander (and certainly not a adv junkie) just how much I've got available...

Please do, the photos you have added are fantastic! The latest RemoteMoto Riders photos can be viewed here: Latest Photos (http://www.remotemoto.com/latest-photos/)



edit: Also, an option to de-select all on the map would be handy. Having to de-select at least half the options every time to declutter the map gets tedious.

Good feedback, I'll look into that tomorrow. Thanks again for the valuable feedback

[RMOTO]

Hi ya Tazz. Significant amounts of planning has gone into avoiding exactly what you mentioned. Here's how we avoid this. To join up as a RemoteMoto Rider a profile photo and garage photo needs to be supplied to ensure it is a legitimate RemoteMoto Rider account. When a Rider reviews products, tyres etc a photo has to be supplied to verify the review is legit. The final hurdle is the fact that everything published on RemoteMoto is manually viewed and approved. For genuine RemoteMoto Riders supplying legitimate and quality content there will be rewards in the form of RemoteMoto points. For those trying to cheat the system, it will take very little time to detect this and accounts will be unreservedly removed. The aim is to ensure all RemoteMoto Riders are legitimate and all the reviews are legitimate so the reviews and articles on RemoteoMoto can be read with confidence.


The own content I've wondered about, bit of a kettle of fish with land access and the like to some areas unless it is something you are personally up on the play with, however people being able to submit things for you to check over would have to be a good thing? Also when you are sorting out dudes overseas having it so others can submit as well might help if they get a bit slack or anything overtime on the whole thing? (Slightly less micromanaging for you?). I am not sure what is available worldwide but I certainly think the ambitions you have hinted at for it are not unacheivable at all.

The routes will only be managed by RemoteMoto area managers as I take land access very seriously and will not be promoting or publishing any routes on places where land owners do not want riders to go or places where it is not legal to ride. RemoteMoto Riders “own content” is limited to adding updates, photos, and reviews to routes. Riders can of course also contribute ride reports, workshop articles, product reviews etc all of which receive RemoteMoto points.


I did note though that the locked route I stumbled on was SH1 between Chch and Timaru or something, which isn't anything I felt like I was missing out on ;)

Haha, yes, that section of road was the only one I contemplated to be free which would do a favour to anyone planning a ride that was unfamiliar with the, ummm, minimalistic appeal!



They are nitpick things and I'm very appreciative of all the effort (and I'd imagine recently $$$) you've put into this and the old version which has been incredibly helpful on a number of trips.

Thanks Tazz, as mentioned above I am appreciative of all feedback, just don’t go reminding me of the money involved in this project, the development costs to date are staggering! However, it is a project I am proud to be bringing to life and the positive feedback shows it is moving in the right direction

[RMOTO]

Spot on my friend, a bulletproof way to detect the dreaded spammer and ensure quality is up to scratch.

[RMOTO]

I uh... broked your website :rolleyes: (didn't take long). I've attached the error. I suspect it was something around creating an article, not selecting a category and then trying to upload pictures?

With it being so early into the release of such a large scale website it is normal for a few bugs to pop up and need addressing. It's not ideal, but an unavoidable part of software development. The good news is, for every bug that a RemoteMoto Rider reports you will get 50 RemoteMoto Points :) The process is to simply email the bug through to me and I’ll address the issue and grant the RemoteMoto Points.

Thanks for letting me know of that bug, I'll address that and add 50 points to your account



On that note, I want to add Danseys Pass Coach Inn (either food or accommodation) and can't see how to add an article?? like that? Categories I got was Bike Building, Gear Prep, Rider Prep. So I was going to see if I could leave the category out of it for you to fix later...

Ahaa, I appreciate your willingness to add a feature to the map however features that appear places on the map (such as Hotels, fuel stops etc) require the area manager to add them however you can of course add reviews/updates/photos to existing places on the map.

The reason that only area managers can add new features to the map is to ensure all information on the RemotoeMoto map have been personally visited and verified by a RemoteMoto area manager to ensure the information is valid and legit. That may seem a little over the top but the focus for RemoteMoto is to be the highest quality resource possible

[Gremlin]

Okey Dokey, no problems with all that.

Just a quick heads up, this is the last week we give away a free RemoteMoto sticker and 200 RemoteMoto points to new RemoteMoto Rider signups.

To those of you that have signed up this month many thanks! Your RemoteMoto sticker will be in the post on Friday


Thanks for the start up points, and the letter. They will come in handy.
Now where is that leave app and the overnight gear.
