Tacx Trainer Software 2.0 screen shot. Image: Tacx
The Tacx Trainer Software that was released this year revolutionized the Fortius and other Virtual Reality trainers by allowing Google Earth files to be used to create training rides on the device. Tacx just announced an upgrade to Version 2.0 which has additional functionality and allows the use on 64 bit operating systems.
Here is the information sent to me by Tacx. If you are a current user of version 1.1, Tacx will contact you directly. I will have copies of the software for sale in a few weeks to users of the Fortius and I Magic trainers which will make great stocking stuffers!
