Advanced features and sidenotes

Many features in TrailRunner are still under construction, although the main application should work perfectly for most people.

The following introduces some features you might not discover "on your own".

Managing maps

Organize your background maps in layers and store them in a central data store.

Managing tracks

Merge and consolidate your network of tracks by removing similarities and overlapping track-parts.

Internet services

Load maps and elevation data from public mapping services and learn how to extend the list of known services.

Managing Workouts

Import workouts from your Training device and display your recorded data along with the routes course.

Files and Backup

TrailRunner not only stores information in your document but also in files located in your user directory. For optimal happiness, regularly backup these files.

Application Crashes and Error Messages

Help me find bugs by sending me crash reports.

Advanced preferences

Some features in TrailRunner are experimental, freak or expert features. To enable these you need to set a preference in Terminal.app.
