Excellent running and hiking planner
Don't be fooled by the name - TrailRunner caters for more than those who just fancy a jog with a difference. TrailRunner is a well thought-out and crafted application for anyone who's on the move, whether hiking, running, cycling, or looking for directions.
The aim of TrailRunner is to be the exercise partner you've always dreamed of. It can calculate a route for any specified distance in the world and export the directions onto your iPod. TrailRunner integrates with Ascent and Garmin Training Center, providing detailed instructions along the way so that you can stick to your route and concentrate on your running or hiking.
TrailRunner uses Microsoft Virtual Earth to plot and find routes, which isn't quite as detailed as Google Earth but should suffice for most major locations. After your trip is over, TrailRunner doesn't stop there. You can fill in a diary of your trip, create an exercise plan, and even share the ground you've covered on GPSies.com. There's also a calendar for you to schedule training and walks to help you stick to your walking and running plans.
TrailRunner is an ideal application for anyone who has an iPod or Garmin device and wants to get more out of their jogs, hikes, and walks.
