Paper map

I know I'm old school, but for planning purposes, I'd love to have 1 giant map of the route of the GR 65. Is there a MIchelein map available?

Or, if you're in the UK and don't want to feed the ravenous maw of Amazon, The Map Shop in Upton-on-Severn, which is slightly cheaper in postage and gives excellent service.

@kmccue , this is an excellent booklet. I used is every day. It was small enough to fit in my bag slung between my shoulder straps and so easily accessible.

It is not voluminous or heavy and sits in the hand nicely. The only downside was the selection of gite was restricted by the format. But I did not find that a serious drawback.

I am not clear what meaning to give to "zoom" in the description.
From my description you will have twigged it is not "giant". But, in my view, it is good for planning.

Thanks so much to all. I have miam miam. I just anted to see the whole route, in 1 large format. Seeing it in stages is good, but to get a handle on the entire trip, I was hoping for a map. You know. An old fashioned paper map! Ha. I ordered the Michelein. Planning is fun for me, so I'll enjoy it!

I have used this handy Michelin mapbook for the past several years on the CF - I always pick up a new one in Leon at the bookstore close to the front of the Cathedral. It's lightweight, easy to carry and includes information about services in towns and albergues, and an elevation and road map...and more. I love it!!

I just anted to see the whole route, in 1 large format.

I taped together about six different maps; it was huge. However, that series is no longer available. I never was able to find a single map. It was an IGN series in blue.

What!? The IGN blue maps aren't available any longer? Say it isn't so.
EDIT Those are the best maps ever.

I followed @pudgypilgrim suggestion (thanks!) and found the IGN (Instituto Geográfico Nacional) map of the "Camino de Santiago en la Península Ibérica" (that is, all Caminos, not only the Frances). It has 36 MB (takes some time to download) . Apparently it has a good definition (92 x 123 cm, and 13448 x 9055 pixels, although I don't know what this latter exactly means...) I guess it could be printed, too, in a good shop, over the kind of paper you prefer. It includes a yellow arrow, pics of pilgrims and the Compostela cathedral.
