TrailRunner 3.1 has been picked as the editor’s choice on Softonic.


TrailRunner has been granted the "Excellent" certificate at FindMySoft.com


I am not sure what it's worth, but mac.softpedia.com found TrailRunner to be free of any malicious code like spyware, viruses, trojans and backdoors.

What's more interesting is the fact that softpedia published some screenshots of TrailRunner depicting a map snapshot of a region in Romania near the river Prut. Looks like globalization also caught the software review industry…

If you are a german speaking user, you might want to read the short article about TrailRunner in the german magazine c’t. In issue 03/2009 on page 59 they write:

„TrailRunner liefert nicht nur einen virtuellen Trainingspartner, sondern macht auch als GPS-Track-Editor für Amateur-Kartographen eine gute Figur“.

I liked that they wrote me in advance to cross read the article and gave me a chance to make remarks. They even did send me a copy of the issue for my records.
The issue will be out by Monday, January 19th.
