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.
