[QUOTE="VNwalking, post: 595905, member: 38350"] I'll go happily extinct, then, thanks.:cool: Just a word of caution about using a phone: in 2015 I tried GPS on a phone, with disastrous results. The screen is impossible to see in the sun, and the battery went flat when I most needed it. So on day one of my camino that year (on the Lana between Santo Domingo de Silos and Covarrubias) I went the wrong way and had to walk about 10 extra kms on top an already long and challenging day. I had loaded OSM maps and a GPS app on my phone but when I most needed to use the map, there was no signal, and then my phone batteries got drained...so it was all useless. The experience simply re-enforced my preference for using hard-copy maps and my own mind as the primary wayfinding tool. There are no batteries to go flat. There are no technical challenges to simply viewing the map. A paper map does not depend on a signal that may or may not be there. A phone with the location turned on and Google maps (or something) can be the real-time back-up and confirmation, but I still wouldn't ever depend on a [I]phone[/I] for navigation. A Garmin may be another story. [/QUOTE]
