Hello all,
I just finished my third camino in early July and consider my whatsapp contacts precious. I made cherished friends and hope to stay in touch with many. This morning I checked my Whatsapp account and was dismayed to receive a message that my whatsapp had expired and I had to go to the...
Anyone have suggestions for an app to use on the Camino to track daily mileage, and also to post and share photos? I have used Strava in the past when cycling, but I’m not sure that would be appropriate for walking the Camino. I have seen a few users who have used Polarsteps, which looks...

I am sure many have asked this before and I apologize. But technology seems to change all the time (including using USB C charging cords instead of USB A). I plan to rely on technology as little as possible on this trip of a lifetime, but unfortunately I will have to stay in touch with work...
My mistake today: I should have checked with my US cell provider T-Mobile to find out if my phone is unlocked and able to accept another SIM card.
My iPhone is on a payment plan with significant promotional benefits so it cannot be unlocked until it’s fully paid off (I’m half way through the...

Hi all,
Does anybody have any recent experience with using a pocket wifi on the CF?

2: How much does it cost?
3: How...
Has anyone used the Wise Pilgrim app? I doing the Camino Portugues at the end of September and wondering if this app could be helpful for booking accommodation and maps? Any other helpful application/tips welcome too.Thanks
Hi @wisepilgrim I’m currently walking the Camino Invierno using your app (very good).
Have some current info on route changes we’ve encountered (not major, most are diverting you away from busy roads or through small towns), updates on some pricing for Albergues and photos you may/may not want...
Hi there! I am looking to get an e-SIM (including calls and texts) for Portugal / Spain before arriving, and am wondering if I will see the phone number as soon as I purchased the e-SIM, or whether I will only see it after activation (ie after arriving in Spain). Does anyone know? Grateful for...

I did a quick search but didn't see if there was a comparison between the two more popular apps, Wise Pilgrim and the newly re-released Camino Ninja App.
Just curious if there is there a feature by feature comparison of the two apps?
Thanks,

I’ll begin my CF September 7 in SJPDP and I plan on taking lots of pictures. I’m trying to find a dependable phone mount for my hiking pole. Has anyone have any experience with these clip on iPhone holders?
Thank you

I leave to begin my pilgrimage at the end of the month. Initially I was not going to take any technology with me but have decided to carry my phone.
I downloaded the following Applications - Wise Pilgrim:Frances; Frances; and Buen Camino and I'm now confused as to which one is the most...
