Background: You can only append activities to each other while you are about to import them. Once they are within the diary, it's not possible anymore to alter them.
Solution: In the import pane, place a checkmark on each entry you want to concatenate. In the lower toolbar, use the Append toolbar button to replace both by a concatenated representation. Each activity will be represented as a lap within the resulting placeholder activity.

Solution: TrailRunner supports the following OSM Render Styles: Classic OpenStreetMap, OpenCycleMap and CloudMade Fine line. To switch between these, Goto to Bottom Toolbar > Background Map > Display Settings. In the left pane select any of the available OSM tile servers.
Tip: As tiles are heavily cached in TrailRunner, you may want to right click the map and reload the background maps whenever you see the wrong tiles being displayed from the cache.]]>berbie.trailrunner@mac.comConceptual2010-04-23T14:09:38+02:00http://trailrunnerx.com/en_faq/files/activities_missing_filter.php#unique-entry-id-40http://trailrunnerx.com/en_faq/files/activities_missing_filter.php#unique-entry-id-40Problem: In the main window, the activities list does not display entries that previously have been there. But I can find these in the diary.
Solution: Below the activities list there is a Filter Button. Please check if you have set a filter that hides the entries you where looking for.]]>berbie.trailrunner@mac.comImport2010-03-28T23:05:50+02:00http://trailrunnerx.com/en_faq/files/make_route_from_activity.php#unique-entry-id-39http://trailrunnerx.com/en_faq/files/make_route_from_activity.php#unique-entry-id-39Problem: You have selected an activity and click on the make route button. TrailRunner becomes unresponsive and calculates for a very long time until the process is finished or seemingly never finishes.
Background: If you have already collected a network of track and merge new elements into it, the calculation of what is already there and what is similar and can be consolidated can be very time intensive.

Suggestion: Please read the quick-guide tutorial and understand what way-point perimeters mean. If you can set up your network of tracks to contain landmarks with good perimeters, the operation above will be much faster.
Workaround: The only alternative is to merge the track by hand (yellow sign) and then later recreate a route based on the spitted and joined tracks. This will also give you the opportunity to initially set up your way-point perimeters.

Why is that so?
Explanation: TrailRunner can display the maximum speed value from either the imported workout data (if available) or can calculate the value by an analysis of your workout data.



On statistical aggregates
If your GPS Device has lost its signal and re-catches it, the recoded course may contain errors. This error may lead to unrealistic values as such signal jumps may assume you where moving faster that light. Therefore TrailRunner uses a low-pass filter of roughly 90% and takes the highest value within the result as your maximum speed. To turn this off, uncheck the calculate statistical aggregates option.



On split intervals
The horizontal interval size slider controls the size of interval splits.
The intervals are being displayed as white lines in the graph, each containing a white circle on the value that was most common within this interval.
In addition the lowest values and the highest values within this interval are being displayed as a dot bordered gray region.
The overall maximum speed of an activity is the maximum speed from all these split intervals.
As this is a statistical calculation, the values may vary when you change the size of the split intervals. The bigger the intervals, any filtering becomes stronger.

a) The GPX file you import is actually a recorded workout of your own (possibly containing heart-rate data), so it's an activity.
b) The file contains a route created by someone else and you want to add it to your own list of routes.
c) You are interested in the tracks and way-points contained in the file and you want to merge them into your network of tracks -- to be used in future routes you create.
Solution: Please note that TrailRunner behaves differently in any of the three main application modes.
(a) If you have the Activities browser open, a GPX file you import or drag into the map will be imported as an activity.
Whereas in the routes browser (b) a route will be added.
In Track Network Editor mode (c) only the raw tracks and way-points will be added to your network.
Tip: For a better conceptual understanding of TrailRunner, please take a look at the TrailRunner QuickGuide Tutorial]]>berbie.trailrunner@mac.comConceptual2010-04-03T19:00:23+02:00http://trailrunnerx.com/en_faq/files/difference_ascent_descent_elevation.php#unique-entry-id-36http://trailrunnerx.com/en_faq/files/difference_ascent_descent_elevation.php#unique-entry-id-36Problem: In the altitude histogram, TrailRunner displays three values derived from altitude values. These are named elevation, ascent and descent. What's the different between these?
Description: Elevation is the absolute difference between the highest summit and the lowest valley. It may also be named altitude difference or altitude range.
Ascent is being displayed as ascent/descent value which is the gain in only positive / negative altitude differences.
Example: With an altitude series of 12, 13, 15, 13, 11, 16 the elevation is 11..15 = 4, the ascent is 12..13..15 // 11..16 = 8 and the descent is 15..13..11 = 4
Tip: As most GPS receivers tend to be very inaccurate with the recoding of altitude data, the ascent and decent values can become unnaturally high as only small gains can sum up to huge values. In TrailRunner > Preferences > Advanced you can set a low pass filter for the ascent/descent calculation. See Filter altitude noise.

Garmin ANT Agent for Mac OS X allows you to transfer fitness data from compatible Garmin ANT devices to and from your Mac. Once your device is synchronized with your Mac, TrailRunner can access the data and import the local TCX files. Set the Garmin ANT Agent as your helper application and follow the screen instructions in TrailRunner.

Garmin ForeRunner 201/301/305/405, FR60, Edge 205/305/605/705

Import by using Garmin Training Center as the synchronization helper.
To send courses to your fitness device use the helper application LoadMyTracks or GPSBable (see below).

Polar RS200, RS200sd, CS200, CS200cad or F6 heart rate monitor

Import by using TrackRecord as the synchronization helper using the Mac's built-in microphone, iSight or an external microphone.
Any other Polar HRM file containing distance information can also be imported into TrailRunner.
If you own a Polar S625x with Irda the only known way is to use a PC emulation with Polar Personal Trainer and then export a HRM file. Please let me know if you find any better solution. (Forum: MAC with polar watches)

Other Supported GPS Devices

LoadMyTracks can communicatie with most classical GPS devices like all Garmin, Magellan or even TomTom devices.
MacTravelRecorder can export GPX files from GPS mouses like the iBlue.

Another great software to connect your GPS device is GPSBabel. It's an openSource initiative and supports almost any device or file format on the market like from Garmin GPS, Magellan GPS, TomTom GPS, many map programs and other GPS receivers. Save your recordings as a GPX file and import them into TrailRunner.]]>berbie.trailrunner@mac.comImport2010-02-10T21:12:00+01:00http://trailrunnerx.com/en_faq/files/merge_gps_heartrate_workout.php#unique-entry-id-34http://trailrunnerx.com/en_faq/files/merge_gps_heartrate_workout.php#unique-entry-id-34Problem: Is there an easy way to merge GPS data and HR data into TrailRunner?
Solution: When your heart-rate data contains distance information, the you can do the following:
- First import the track from your GPS device, iphone or file and make a route of it so that it appears in the routes list.
- Remove the activity as otherwise you cannot add a new activity for the same date. - Then import your workout from your ForeRunner 50 or HRM file and select the route in the import panel.
TrailRunner will now merge the Heat-rate data and the GPS Data based on the distance information.
Note: For not GPS enabled workout devices you require a food-pod while your where running as TrailRunner requires distance information for the matching.

But in some areas of the word better map sources exist and TrailRunner does not include them.
Solution: The definition of available maps sources is stored in a configuration file. You can make a local copy of this file and extend it to your needs. But please inform me on good sources as more users than you may want to enjoy the sources.
Waring: Please also note that this is an expert feature. If you are not able to read and understand programming code, this tip is useless to you.

- Open the application package and copy the MapServices.plist file into your home directories Library/Application Support/TrailRunner folder
- Next time you start TrailRunner, TrailRunner will load this local file with a higher priority, so you can edit it.
- Look through the file to find the OSM data sources.
- To extend the sources, you can copy and paste the openStreetMap source block and modify it for a different source and region.
- Please note that the ZoomLevelRange is reverse, meaning 0 in TrailRunner is the highest resolution.
- TrailRunner will check if a better source (QualityLayer) lies within the defined area (GeoCoverage). Meaning with competing sources the higher QualityLayer will be chosen.
- To create a new GeoCoverage region you can type command-d once in TrailRunner, this will display a debug red region for the currect active source. (more command-d's will show other regions I sometimes use, but the first is for the map source located at the last click point)
- When you click somewhere in the map and press command-c, you'll get a coordinate string you can paste.
- When you press command-alt-shift-r, TrailRunner will reload all visible map tiles and will also reload your MapServices.plist file

If you find this complicated, then you are right. Just send me a link to your better source and I may add it to the next release.
Tip: As of TrailRunner 3.0 you can switch the OSM layer between CloudMade FineLine and the original openstreetmap.org rendering in TrailRunner > Preferences > Extended.

Solution: An activity is always assigned to a diary. And a diary can be of a sport type like running, biking, etc.
If you change your default diary to the sport type biking, it would affect the display for all entries within this diary.

Problem: As depicted in the screenshot above, TrailRunner sometimes cuts off high values within a chart.
Background: To analyze a workout, the most interesting part of the chart is the area your workout did spend the most time in. If your GPS signal was weak and produced a noise peak, this single error would decrease the vertical resolution of your graph and therefore would make it unreadable. For this reason TrailRunner cuts off the chart for everything that is located outside of approximately 90% of your data points.
Customizing: To customize this behavior, you can control the display range under TrailRunner > Preferences > Advanced > Chart : Vertical exaggeration.



Problem: As depicted in the second screenshot above, the head or tail of a chart may not be displayed.
Background: The chart above displays a statistical trend. This means that TrailRunner takes all data points available, creates a set of intervals (in this case one month per each interval) and then displays a representative data point for this interval. The representative is the value that had the highest statistical appearance within the interval (mathematically this is called a median, not average). Then a data point is being displayed at the location of the representative. As this is almost never at the beginning or the end of the interval the graph seems to be cut off.
Sidenote: Please also note the gray border around the graph lines. The border depicts the maximum and the minimum values within each interval. So the graph gives you a good overall picture on the trend including extreme values. All data points are located within the gray area and the most frequent values are depicted by the colored line.]]>berbie.trailrunner@mac.comDiary2010-03-19T11:34:49+01:00http://trailrunnerx.com/en_faq/files/backup_personal_data_time_machine.php#unique-entry-id-27http://trailrunnerx.com/en_faq/files/backup_personal_data_time_machine.php#unique-entry-id-27Problem: It's not really obvious to me where TrailRunner stores the main document containing routes and the Database containing my diary activities.

If TrailRunner was ShareWare you would actually buy something from me, meaning we both would have a contract and would bind us to a license agreement. This would also have implications on what you’d expect from me, based on what you are accustomed with when you buy regular commercial products. So distributing TrailRunner as a ShareWare would require me to give you some contractual guarantees, which I can't. So I am not trying to play the big guy where I am small.

For all these reasons, TrailRunner is donation-ware (wikipedia explanation) or support-me-if-you-like-ware, even with a fixed amount. I think the amount for the token of esteem is really worth it. But if it's too much for you, just continue to use TrailRunner as there is no functional limitation for unregistered users. (Though TrailRunner won't hesitate to increasingly appeal to your honor)

That's my point of view regarding fairness. If you find this unfair, please drop me a line.

Solutions: Using third party helper applications, TrailRunner may read data files created by these application. Known solutions are:
- With TrackRecord you can download workouts for some SonicLink Polar devices but Infrared is not supported.
- If you can manage to download HRM files with e.g. a windows emulator and Polar software you can import the file into TrailRunner. But it requires that you have worn a foot-pod during the workout as TrailRunner relies on the distance information to display a workout chart and merge the workout data with the course of a route.
- Any other application that can export GPX and TCX files from Polar devices can be used too, as TrailRunner can import these file formats.

Unsupported watches are: Polar RS300X

Solution: Select the diary entries in TrailRunner and use Edit > Copy to paste the data into an external spreadsheet application like NeoOffice or Excel. To select all entries in TrailRunner, use Command-A.
Tip: If you import your data into NeoOffice, follow these step to make NeoOffice use one column for each diary column.

Additionally the TrailRunner graph seems not to start at the left edge of the chart but appears to be indented. Furthermore a TrailRunner graph line sometimes is being drawn as a straight line without any intermediate data points, although there should be some.
Background: Other applications display the raw data of a device. This makes the graph unreadable. The philosophy of TrailRunner instead is to display the overall trend and development of your workout session.
Approach: TrailRunner has an auto split feature where the workout is being sliced into fixed distance intervals. For each interval the statistical median value is being calculated and one data point reflecting this value is then being used as a representative. As the location of the representative can be somewhere in-between the first interval, the graph might appear to be indented. Furthermore if representatives in adjacent intervals fall onto a straight line, only the edges representatives are being drawn and the connection line depicts the trend development.
Details: The auto split feature uses the following distance intervals. By the time of this writing it’s 250 m for workouts shorter than 10 km, then 500m up to 20 km, 1000 m up to 50 km and 10000 m from there on. A route with 42 km would then have 5 intervals.
Example: Below the identical workout in Garmin Training Center (upper image) and TrailRunner (lower image)



It’s rather obvious that the speed Graph in Garmin Training Center is full of noise and false signals. TrailRunner filters this out and gives you the statistical trend (blue line) for each interval (white circle within each interval separated by a white vertical line)



The thinner line around the blue line depicts the value range, so you still can make up that within the interval there was a great spread of values, but most of the time you stayed near the value depicted by the thick line.

BTW please note that the Garmin speed graph is upside down, so slower is a value near the top and faster is a value near the end. TrailRunner uses a the natural, mirrored display approach, where “better” is on top.

Garmin Training Center displays the same distance but TrailRunner displays a different distance.
Background: Your ForeRunner records geographical data points during the workout. At the same time your ForeRunner internally sums up the distance for the workout. It could sometimes happen that if you sum up the distances between each data points the result will be different to what the ForeRunner has summed up during the workout.
Reason: If you have intelligent recording enabled on your ForeRunner and the GPS signal quality isn't too good, the device will alter the recorded geographical course after it knows better. Problem is that at the same time the overall distance should also be adjusted, which is not the case.
Status: TrailRunner takes only the geographical information from the workout and takes this as the base. If your ForeRunner has internally stored a different distance, TrailRunner assumes this as an error in the ForeRunner device as it delivers contradictory information.
]]>berbie.trailrunner@mac.comTechnology2009-01-29T22:42:01+01:00http://trailrunnerx.com/en_faq/files/map_loading_slow.php#unique-entry-id-16http://trailrunnerx.com/en_faq/files/map_loading_slow.php#unique-entry-id-16Problem: Maps somtimes load very slow. Other applications like Google Earth load the maps much faster.
Reason: TrailRunner loads maps from internet services that provide free maps. If the loading process is slow, the map service is slow and TrailRunner can't get anything faster. Another reason are "fair use" agreements for commercial web services. This means that as long as you get maps in a fair amount and frequency, the commercial service won't put you on a black-list. For that reason TrailRunner throttles the keyhole imagery service.
Solution: TrailRunner caches maps. If you have once loaded map fragments from a service, it's unlikely you will need to load the same fragments again. The longer you use TrailRunner, the faster it will become.
Tip: In case the map material on the web service was updated, as it is frequently the case with openstreetmap.org, you can use the File > Consolidate > Reload background maps command to reload what’s currently visible or you can remove the GeoTiles folder in your Application Support/TrailRunner folder.

Why is TrailRunner not using the same terms? And by the way, what is the difference between a track, an activity, a route and a workout?
Background: TrailRunner is more or less two applications in one: on the one hand a route planning application managing a personal network of tracks and on the other hand a journal for your sport activities.
