During the fall months of October and November 2016, I hit the trail for thirty-three days of walking the Via de la Plata. Daily accounts of that journey to find history, peace and new friends are now available on this forum at the link below, or on my blog.

Hi Brien,
I have started to read your blog. Simple and effective layout and a nice touch that you share your tracks and finances. Question: which app/program did you use to produce those tracks? God bless!
 
Hi Brien,

I used Strava. There are many available apps for tracking. Search this forum to find out what others may favor, and why. I use Strava because I'm an ultra-distance amateur athlete and do a lot of training, both on foot and bike. Strava handles both. Just depends on what your needs are.

Cheers,

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I may be dense, I am certainly inexperienced with GPS, and I may have misunderstood something, but I can't see where you have posted the tracks on your blog! Can you help?

Sorry for the confusion. The GPS tracks are only included in the version of this route report on my website. And, are only simple screen captures from the Strava app on my phone.

Hope this helps,
