TrailRunner Adds Easy Switching Between Route Download and Upload

Berbie has released a new beta version of its free route planning application, TrailRunner. The new release delivers a trio of bug fixes, as well as user interface enhancements. TrailRunner 1.9.1 Beta 04 is free to download and install on any Mac running Mac OS X Tiger or Leopard.

TrailRunner can calculate a route for the desired distance, and export directions onto the user's iPod. This way, users get 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. TrailRunner integrates with nikeplus.com, the online community for the Nike SportBand, and the Apple Nike+ iPod Sport Kit running devices.

The changelog for TrailRunner 1.9.1 Beta 04 reveals that Berbie has been hard at work fixing a couple of recently-found application crashers, one of which occurred when closing a document with a left hand pane still processing. Also working better is the GTC import, which apparently had some problems that are now fixed. As for this update's main attraction, so to speak, the developers packed the route Download and Upload into one left hand pane where you can switch between modes. Thus, both modes are now accessible from the routes control bar icon.

Note
TrailRunner is in prerelease state. All current releases of TrailRunner will run for about three months. Berbie urges users to update regularly to the most current version, as well as review and accept the License-Agreement that comes with the application, before using it.

TrailRunner versions above 1.6 (including the one available for download today) require Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard to run. The only remaining version supported on Tiger is TrailRunner 1.6. Both supported versions are available using the download link below.
