Real trails. Great adventures.
TrailRunner Mini is built for runners, hikers, cyclists and mountain bikers who want to discover ways beyond the main routes.
TrailRunner Mini is the best route planning app for Apple MacBook, iMac, iPad and iPhone.
Off the beaten path
TrailRunner Mini plans routes on OpenStreetMap — a map cared for by people who know their region. Discover marked hiking trails, singletrack and nature paths away from the main routes. Hillshade and contour lines show the terrain and make it easier to find your way.
Read the mountain
Read the mountain before you set out — and plan ahead. Every route comes with a full elevation profile: climb and descent in metres, the highest and lowest points, and how steep each stretch runs. As you build a route the climb adds up live, and a bar shows how much is flat, rolling or steep — so you shape exactly the effort you want, and scrub along the profile to see where it rises and falls.
Lost in the moment, never lost
Download a region in advance — the map and navigation keep working even when there's no more mobile signal and only GPS still knows where you are.
Follow the trail signs
Follow the official waymarks with their distinctive colours and symbols. Where they're recorded in the official trail network, TrailRunner Mini shows the same markings you see out on the trail. So at every junction you can tell at a glance whether to keep following the marked trail or turn onto another path.
Maps that show the terrain
See the shape of the land, not just the lines on it. TrailRunner Mini draws topographic maps with hillshade and contour lines that bring out ridges, valleys and summits at a glance, and lets you switch between beautiful regional map styles. Read the terrain around your route and choose the paths that suit it.
Plan your perfect loop
Build routes to your goals — distance, climb or calories — on ways suited to running, hiking, biking and mountain biking. Read the mountain before you go: see climbs, descents and the course of your route before you start, and enjoy the day knowing what lies ahead.
Your tour, on every device
Import GPX, KML or Garmin TCX/FIT files and turn them into your own tour. Edit them, trim them or bring them back onto real trails without losing the original course. Your routes, collections and landmarks stay in sync across Mac, iPad and iPhone.

Easy to use with lots of functionality
Over the years I've tried several GPX apps for mapping long distance bike routes. I always revert back to using TrailRunner mini.
Practical, intuitive and reliable.

great app, awesome on iMac
I train using an old Garmin 305. Garmin Training Center software has not been updated in many years, and no longer works on modern macOS's. So I use an old macOS 10.12 Sierra virtual machine to download my training data from my 305 (using the last version Garmin Training Center), then I export the data as .TCX or .GPX files, which I then import to Trail Runner mini on my modern iMac (2020, running Big Sur 11.7.8), and, voila, all my routes immediately appear on beautifully detailed, interactive maps, along with elevation profile. If you're as old school as all this, I would highly recommend Berbie's app as a way to continue using your favorite old Garmin.

Tracks all my running routes
This is probably the best Mac-based running route app. I use the iOS iSmoothRun on iphone for actually running and export runs to Trailrunner mini via Dropbox. It's nice to see my routes on a bigscreen vs just on my iphone.
The app did hang a couple of times when I tried to import a large number (200-300) of my past exported runs. I did import them successfuly by reducing the number of imports at one time.
I wanted an app that allowed me to export all my run data and Trailrunner mini does this—a hard requirement for me. I refuse to use other apps that lock your data in and prevent you from exporting it. I've been bitten too many times when many apps eventually stop being supported and you lose your data.
The subscription cost is well worth having a good app. Developers need to support themselves too, I don't understand how others can complain that developers should give away their hardwork for free. :–((

Great app for bike trips
I find this app is almost perfect for planning a long bike trip. I can import other people's routes, adjust them, while it tells me distances and elevations along the way. It's snaps to roads easily and intuatively.
But it's one flaw is that the route must go along a known road or major path. Which would be really annoying for runners and mountain bikers who make their own paths.

★★★★☆Hiking
I really like this app.
TrailRunnerMini is great for planning walks. It “knows” where the established tracks are and will plot along them.
The tracks can be exported to .gpx or .kml. GPX files will load into apps such as mobileX (Open Street Map) )or Ordnance Survey (UK mapping) on; KML files will open in Google Earth to enable a fly-over of the route. By adjusting the settings in Earth you can really get a feel of the route planned.
The app has improved during the years I’ve been using it. It has easily repaid my investment by giving so much enjoyment.
I occasionally have a problem when I click on a file to open it in the App. Not a big problem but means I give 4* rather than 5*.
Thank you Berbie for an app that really enhances my enjoyment of walking. This year we are in Ireland for our holiday and your app has been a great help.

My go-to bike app
Have used this for a few years now and it’s my go-to app for bike mileage. It covers the basics well and I consider it easier to use than the Garmin online offering. Use it for my Garmin Edge 200.

Bike guide
I’m a bike guide and I find this a very useful app to help me with the disigning and mapping of routes. I find it especially useful to show my clients what the days ride will look like. It’s easy to use, very recommendable!
One glitch! it happens on both my computers, The program crashes every now and then, I’m sure the team are on that!

Awsome app!
I've been using trailrunner mini for about 1 year now and it has grown to be an essential part of my fitness lifestyle. During my marathon training I used it on a daily basis for mapping daily courses, ensuring that I get my planned milage. Now I use it to plot morning running routes to get the most of my PT time before work, making sure I'm not going out too far and be late to the office. Great tool that I could not live without!

Update needed
The August 2012 release had a flaw that caused it to crash. Berbie has confirmed he is working on a fix, to be released shortly. Until then, the system may or may not work, not sure if the flaw was an OS issue or something else.
However, once fixed, I must say this is the best mapping app I have used - and once it failed and I spent an afternoon trying to find another equivalent app, I realized how much I liked TRM. Simple way to trace and create maps - it is a bit bulky in how it loads map data at smaller scales, but works extremely well. Unless I'm missing a few apps, I have tried as many of the affordable ones I could, including the giant's online free sources, and find this to be the best. Company service was quick and prompt, although it seems to be a fairly small operation, Berbie seemed concerned to get it right as soon as he could.
Now let's hope the update comes soon. 5 starts once that is dealt with.

Very useful map app
This is a very useful app for planning route to walk, run or cycle. It's pretty accurate when it comes to elevations let alone distances. It's exactly the app I was looking for to use on my Mac.
The reason I have given it four stars instead of five is the syncing with RaceBunny for the iPhone. I have had the odd little issue with this but there is help on the internet at the developer's website and if you search Google. One thing to note on the syncing, it is working perfectly for me right now and has been for a while.
Overall, very happy with the price for the app. Keep up the good work Berbie Software.

Great alternative to mapmyrun, although occasionally sluggish
I've used MapMyRun for a while, and long been frustrated at its glacial development progress and buggy interface. So TrailRunner mini is a great alternative - and also great not to have to endure ads and/or punitive membership fees just to create a running route. Only complaint is with the routing - particularly for longer sections, the follow-roads (or paths) route plotting can be incredibly slow. But for this price, I guess we shouldn't expect lightning fast performance.

Good App for reviewing training
Hi, I am pleased with this app. Syncs easily with gps from iphone to record routes and detail training data, etc. Not sure I'm actually using the full potential of this programme (or ever will!) but it definitely does what I need it to do.
Display of data is clear, and motivational and once you master transferring gpx files(not difficult) it is very straightforwardto operate.

So far so great!
This is the app I have been looking for. Allows me plot a specific route and transfer to my iPhone. Only suggestion I would make is to add tags for turn by turn directions. That would make it 5 stars. Money well spent. Obviously earlier poor reviews were for early version. New version is great. Danke Heir Berberich.
★★★★☆General
Great customer service
I was reluctant to purchase an application from a small software company due to the potential lack of customer support and potential low cost development of the application. In actual fact the support is extremely fast and customer focused. The develpper e-mailed me immidiately with solutions to minor issues I had using the app with Lion.
The application itself is simple and effective. It is quite easy to integrate it with RaceBunny on iPhone (you only need to have dropbox). I am looking forward to test it on the South Downs Way.

Prima für Tourplanungen
Das Programm liefert mir gute Dienste für meine Tourplanungen vorab und ist so eine ideale Ergänzung zu Maps 3D auf dem iPhone. Die in TrailRunner mini erzeugten Touren lassen sich exportieren und problemlos in Maps 3D verwenden. So kann ich meine Laufstrecke schon vor dem Urlaub planen oder Fahrradwege suchen, die abseits von Haupt- und Landstraßen verlaufen.

Sehr gute App!
Einfach zu bedienen, auf das nötigste reduziert. Für die einfache Tourenplanung auf dem Mac, wie ich finde, konkurenzlos.

Super!!!
Sehr einfach können Fahrradtouren geplant werden und danach auf die SMART-Watch oder das Mobiltelefon geladen werden
Echt eine super Hilfe um selbst in unbekanntem Gebiet punktgenau navigieren zu können!
Sehr zu empfehlen.
PS: Kann auch für Wanderungen, Stadttouren, Skitouren, usw. verwendet werden.
