[QUOTE="CharlieWart, post: 764031, member: 81491"] I did the VdP from Oursense and the problem with arrows I feared was that if I missed one (which I did several times) -- especially one directing me to take a branch off a more major track -- it could be a long time before self-doubt set in and I would feel I'd have to backtrack to find an earlier arrow, perhaps adding km. So I had a GPS route too. That way, you may go a little past a turning, but quickly realise before too much damage is done. Also, sometimes I found arrows ambiguous or faded, and was unsure if they were still "current". But the track I found online (not a specific Camino app) was outdated -- now crossed by a high-speed railway line and deep road cutting -- so that cost me some distance and time anyway, and to be fair following arrows more trustingly for those bits would have helped me. So basically I got into a little bit of trouble depending too much on GPS, but I would have got into bigger trouble if I'd just tried to follow the arrows, which would have led to several significant backtracking mistakes.
