That (Locus Map) looks really interesting. Do you use it, and do you find it fairly user friendly?Check this one out.
Do they? What is it called?My favorite and default is Mapy.cz. But for the sake of completeness, I'll add that Gronze.com recently put out their own app for this. And I've had situations in which it displayed more up-to-date info than Mapy.cz.
Gronze Maps, I believe....Do they? What is it called?
Yes, it's Android only and requires a data connection.Could not find anything under Gronze maps or simply gronze. Just found out it is android only.
I did that. I then put in the GPS tracks for Iberian Caminos from the Spanish National Institute for Geography. Then I added albergues, bars and restaurants that had been recommended here on the forums. The result is this Camino map.If you want to make your own google map, use “google my maps” it’s very nice
The FarOut app is my go-to navigation app. One can download the trails on to one's phone as use them off line.Is there an online map similar to Google maps that displays Camino routes along with all streets and roads?
My guess is that the GPS itself won't use that much power. I suspect that much more power is used for the screen display and the mathematical calculations for updating the display.Maps.cz do warn that the battery life will be impacted by the continuous interaction with GPS satellites.
I don't blame you for thinking that from my description but actually it can do what you want. I wasn't intending to highlight the app as much as report on how much power was used to just record the track and display it. However, for the app I used, each track you record (and don't delete somewhere in time) is listed, including the current one. You can select one, the current one of the Camino you've walked today in our case, click the eye icon and get a list of navigation apps you have installed and pick the one you want. The app then brings up the app with the base map, track and current position. That keeps the thirsty navigation app from running all the time.@Rick of Rick and Peg that sounds like an interesting way to record a track but not much use if trying to check if you’re “on” track. I find the blue dot useful to check-in at debatable navigation points but I only open the app when required.
