The Best and Easiest Way to Capture and File Your Trainings Focus on your training. The rest is taken care of with a few clicks: plan trails in advance, record them, capture key details automatically, and work in real-time with the Virtual Trainer. TRAIL PLANNING Draw the trail on the map before anyone sets out and mark the waypoints along it. Share the plan as a link and your runner follows it on the map while recording, so the trail gets laid exactly where you drew it. Or keep the plan to yourself and run it later. TWO TRAILS, ONE MAP View both the runner's trail and the mantrailing team's trail on a single map. Analyze performance and optimize your training based on it. VIRTUAL TRAINER Work without a backup person. Load the runner's trail into the app, activate the Virtual-Trainer-Corridor, and receive real-time alerts if your dog moves too far from the trail. WAYPOINTS Mark important moments or locations along your trail. Add them with a tap while recording, or place them on the map afterwards. LIVE TRACKING Share your trail live via link with teammates or friends so they can follow your progress as it happens, whether they are on-site or far away. TRAINING TOGETHER As a runner, record your trail, export it, and share it straight from the finish line. No need to walk back. Laying long trails has never been easier. TRAINING REPORTS No more handwritten notes or scattered data. Create professional reports with maps, weather conditions and your own comments in one click, and export them as a PDF. SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Create an account to sync all your trails across your devices. Access your data anytime, anywhere. WEATHER DATA Temperature, wind speed, rainfall and more are logged automatically with every trail. Precise records, without any extra effort. PERFORMANCE INSIGHTS Analyze trail deviation, speed, search efficiency and environmental influences to refine your training.
