** FREE TRIAL for 14 days available after download ** — The smallest trails, the greatest adventures. — Did you ever want to know how far that running route is? Are you planning for a biking tour? Or do you train for a marathon and wonder where you should go for your long distance runs? Or would you like to know how far you must run to burn that 1000 calories? Then TrailRunner mini is the route planning app you're looking for. — 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. TrailRunner Mini is built for runners, hikers, cyclists and mountain bikers who want to discover ways beyond the main routes. Always follow local regulations and official trail guidance when exploring outdoors. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
