[QUOTE="Bajaracer, post: 150436, member: 19878"] Why not charge up your electronics the night before you head out? GPS? On the Camino, a well marked trail system? I used Google maps to determine how far I had to go, it only frustrated me more by using it when I saw how many km's left I had to walk. All these other gadgets just create unnecessary weight you don't need to carry, Spain is not a third world country, the Albergues have electrical outlets, some of the older Albergues have fewer outlets, just get a 2 or 3 way splitter and/or double USB charging plug and you'll be fine, your fellow pilgrims will appreciate it as well. I carried an iPhone 5 with a Spanish data SIM card and charged it at end of the day when I got to the Albergue, it never dropped below 50%, I never used a mapping app (which suck down the battery) to track my distance covered, I knew how far I walked that day. If you are using a GPS/mapping app the entire day while you walk, then an external battery would be worth using. The problem with solar chargers is that you need a lot of real estate for them to be efficient, and the ones that you hang on your pack simply aren't efficient due to their size and not worth carrying.
