[QUOTE="OzAnnie, post: 720587, member: 27139"] Hi Judy Last year on Madrid ., I loaded everything onto my phone. I’d purchased the e version of Johnny Walker’s CSJ guide., I had wise pilgrim app. Not that the cost is much !! Very good value both of them. Note: see edit below this post re wise pilgrim app But then, and completely free, I now have app for Whatapp, (great at home here too- really easier to send pics etc rather than email home)..I also downloaded the app for maps.me (Do this at home on your wifi ) I know zero about tech stuff., but managed the following too: Then, this little spoken about resource in this forum ; loaded by a member [USER=15833]@Thomas1962[/USER] I’ll link his post here from June 2018, but it’s a resource. He explains it well. Part way down his post ., he has a link to gps tracks to all Spanish caminos. !!! [URL]https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/resources/camino-primitivo-accomodations-in-kml-and-gpx-format-and-as-pdf.673/[/URL] I downloaded his kml tracks to my maps.me on my iPhone while in wifi , before I left home. The great thing about having a track on maps me is that the little blue circle (gps) that glows/pulses away ., shows you whether you are on the track or ‘way off’. Just stay with maps me open until you get the blue circle heading back to the track or wherever you want to head towards. (You May want to visit something off those tracks ). These are all from the Dutch csj. Only thing you should watch with maps me or any of those other apps; is to make sure you’ve completely exited when you find out what you need. While open they are using your battery more. So much use for a phone on the camino in my opinion. I usually get a Spanish sim too (like Laurie ).. sometimes you just might want to contact accommodation etc that isn’t on wifi etc. and sometimes you might be away from wifi just wanting to chill out but want to check something important. Handy having the sim as backup. Buen Camino Annie [/QUOTE]
