RaceBunny is a free companion app for the iPhone 4. RaceBunny has the following feature set:

• Record activities and send them to TrailRunner for analysis and journaling in the diary.
• Plan a route in TrailRunner, send the track to RaceBunny and follow the course.
• Select between different background map types like Google Satellite, Google Terrain, OpenStreetMap and OpenCycleMap
• GPS location recoding is being done using multitasking resulting in high resolution recoding data.
• On devices supporting app switching with multitasking, GPS recoding keeps running even when RaceBunny is running in the background.

MacOS 10.8 Mountain Lion is out and I have a new MacBook 15" Pro with retina.
Unfortunately that hinders me to further support Mac OS 10.6 because apple ceased that support for my configuration.
I don't like that but it's time to move on.
