[QUOTE="Pattii, post: 154885"] Im still confused as to why someone would need a GPS unless they were travelling in the dead of winter and alone. 99% of what I have read from others who have done the Camino said there were always others around at least SOME point in the day. I understand that the Frances is very well marked so unless you are planning to go very far out of the way or are travelling a very unmarked Camino I personally think its contrary to the whole journey. Are you assuming you will need it or has it become such a huge part of your world to the point of dependance on it? I can't imagine how we ever got around with just maps and roadsigns! And what does a GPS do anyway...tell you where you are? You know where you are! Tell people how to find you...how can you be lost if you are on the Camino? Find Albergues? Whats not to find? just follow the pilgrims...ask...use your words! Why not trust your inner guides and your instinct to get you there? You are NOT going into the deep endless jungles of the Amazon or into the Rocky mountains or the great white north. You are following a well known path and even if you are not on a road you will always be near one and there are so many little places in between. I personally don't get it...but maybe thats the whole point...its your journey! [/QUOTE]
