Download New Version of TrailRunner (1.9.303) - Free

TrailRunner is aimed at sports dealing with long-distance traveling, such as running, biking, hiking, and inline-skating. The free software is able to determine how long or how effective one's workouts are, and what routes work best for them.

Berbie's route-planning app can also calculate a route for the desired distance, and export directions onto the users' iPods. This way, they get a detailed orientation, while keeping the workout going. In recent releases, the company introduced the ability to display collected workout data within the program, matching the recordings with routes created by users.

The development team also added integration with nikeplus.com, the online community for the Nike SportBand, and the Apple Nike+ iPod Sport Kit running devices. The previous available version of TrailRunner (1.8.3.) fixed a KML import issue, and a problem with the Nike+ importer that didn't detect Internet connections.

The latest version of the software, TrailRunner 1.9.303, delivers dozens of new additions and fixes. While enhancements are somewhat more post-worthy, anyone interested in the bug fixes can check out the full changelog / version history here. So, here's what's new:
