14 DAY TRIAL // TrailRunner, the well-known route-planning software application for Mac OS X, has received a new maintenance update, fixing errors removing rotation value for manually added maps, while adding other fixes and improvements. The software is free to download and use on any Mac running Tiger or higher.
According to Berbie, TrailRunner 2.1 Build 490 for Mac improves printing of maps, in addition to fixing an error removing rotation value for manually added maps. Furthermore, the new release adds an improved repair routing for corrupt documents. Recent updates have brought major improvements to the entire set of routing features. The most recent maintenance release (excluding today’s), TrailRunner 2.1 Build 482, fixed three bugs on its own.
“If you ever asked yourself how long your workout routes are and what route you should choose for this evening — then TrailRunner should be your training-partner,” Berbie says on its TrailRunnerX website. “TrailRunner can calculate a route for your desired distance and export directions onto your iPod, giving you a detailed orientation while you are on your way.”
“The goal for the application is to become the very intuitive and easy to use tool for people that want to be motivated as adventurers and do not fear experimenting with new tracks in the surrounding area of their well-known workout routes,” the company adds.
Before downloading TrailRunner, readers should take the time to note a few aspects surrounding the program, which is still in pre-release state. Although downloading and using the app is free, all current releases of TrailRunner will only run for about three months. Users are advised to regularly update 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. TrailRunner is updated on a weekly basis with very few exceptions.
