TrailRunner 1.3 with Garmin and Nike Support

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Feb 24th, 2007

When we last mentioned TrailRunner it was pitched primarily as a tool for making your iPod into a workout tool. The newly released version 1.3 expands its functionality considerably with support for importing routes from the recently released Garmin Training Center as well as workout information from the Nike + iPod kit. Now with TrailRunner you can plan and mark out your route in color on USGS (or other) topographical maps, download those maps to your iPod (as photos), record your actual run/bike ride/hike on your Garmin GPS (like the Forerunner, right), and re-upload that tracking information to TrailRunner for analysis and comparison with others. TrailRunner can also import and export KML files for use with Google Earth.

As before, TrailRunner is a free download, but donations are requested.

Garmin Releases Training Center for Mac

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Jan 24th, 2007

We previously mentioned that leading GPS-maker Garmin was planning to release their long delayed Training Center software for OS X. Garmin Training Center is designed to work with Garmin's line of wrist and bike GPS devices to allow you track a variety of workout data (routes, heartrate, etc.). People have been waiting for this for over a year since it was announced, so it's about time. Now if they'd only make their MapSource software Mac-compatible, we'd be talking.

Garmin Training Center is available now as a free download from Garmin.

Garmin FINALLY Supports OS X

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Jan 1st, 2007

I know somebody who has been waiting for this for a long time. Garmin announced nearly a year ago that they would be supporting OS X for their Forerunner and Edge line of GPS devices designed for running and biking. Windows users have long been able to upload tracking information for use with the Garmin Training Center. Now Macworld is reporting that Garmin will finally be supporting OS X in late January (it's not out yet, but they will be giving out copies of the software at MWSF). All I have to say is: it's about time!
