14 DAY TRIAL // Berbie has released a new update for users of its route-planning software solution, announcing that it has fixed a problem with the nikeplus pace import, while adding Dropbox support to sync TrailRunner data between different Macs.
TrailRunner can display maps and elevation data from web-based mapping services like USGS topo maps, import GPS recordings from Trails for iPhone, as well as import tracks and workouts from GPS fitness devices like the Garmin ForeRunner or Garmin Edge.
According to the release notes for the latest version of TrailRunner, the software should now handle pace importing properly, while cached map tiles are no longer stored in the Library/Application Support folder but in one's Library/Caches folder, Berbie says. As noted above, in this release, the developer has added Dropbox support to sync TrailRunner data between different Macs. Berbie directs users to the trailrunnerx blog, to learn more about this key, new addition. Other changes include:
- Improved GPX and KML importer; - Fixed TCX Importer; - Fixed GPX Importer; - Extended the KML importer for timed tracks; - Dropping more than one file on the application icon did not import all of them; - Fixed MobileMe weblog export; - Fixed application crasher.
A note for the readers before downloading TrailRunner – the program is still in the 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.
