Layout and measure workout routes

TrailRunner is a route planning and journalizing application for long distance sports. With TrailRunner you catalog, collect and rate your favorite trails for easy and spontaneous route planning.

TrailRunner documents contain digital background maps, waypoints, tracks and routes. Together, tracks and waypoints build a network of tracks. These tracks are a personal choice of all possible tracks. Using TrailRunner you draw courses of tracks on top of a digital background map.

A route is a concatenated selection of tracks. You can layout routes manually or let TrailRunner calculate routes of a given distance for you. If you have rated your tracks with the famous "iTunes" rating stars, TrailRunner will always try to find routes for you that have the highest star-rating.

This Help describes the techniques and tools you need to know. Inside the application itself, tool-tips at almost every button assist you on the spot.
