This app? Looks like it changed its name to FarOut.For navigating/gps I use the guthooks app.
Looks like it! I didn't know it's name had changed!This app? Looks like it changed its name to FarOut.
Glad to hear that. Can you inform here when it is ready?FWIW, The Wise Pilgrim Apps are continuously being updated with new content. I am proud to say that they were the first from the camino, and grateful to the pilgrim community that they continue to exist.
I am giving them a fresh update for the Spring at this very moment, and they will appear next week in the app stores.
For backcountry wilderness hikes it is a must. For something like the Camino it is a luxury app. You can certainly do some Camino routes without a GPS at all if you want to. Or rely on the normal GPS apps on your phone. But FarOut/Guthook can also be a lifesaver in some circumstances (again, moreso on wilderness hikes). There were a few times I forgot to refill my water or drank more water than I thought - and it directed me to the next water source. And the directions for finding services are very handy. You can also have it track your location which is nice to show others where you were and what you did on each day of your hike, it is a nice way to supplement your pilgrims passport/stamp record of your journey. I also ended up not using any of the apps to read ahead regarding the days path - instead I used guthooks when I wanted to see how much further incline, how far I am from a town, and if I reached a fork in the road where I could take 2 paths - I pulled it out to see which I wanted to take. Anyway - if you are on a budget you can certainly skip it. But I had the app for other hikes and really enjoy using it.FarOut app's French Camino map is $15 AUD (in Australia), but it gives a free demo for navigating from SJPdP to Pamplona, which will give me enough time to test it out and see if it is worth paying for!
Nice! I look forward to seeing the updates!FWIW, The Wise Pilgrim Apps are continuously being updated with new content. I am proud to say that they were the first from the camino, and grateful to the pilgrim community that they continue to exist.

Indeed, all future updates are included. I am pretty sure this is the case will all apps, once you have it you have it. In-app purchases work differently, but mine don't use them.Glad to hear that. Can you inform here when it is ready?
Edit: I am unsure if updates are included when buying it...
I use the Wise Pilgrim app (several) also for planning at home, getting booking info on the ground, etc. I find it very helpful and intuitive. Thanks for the good work!
Very generous, indeed! Will your apps download automatically to my iPhone, or do I need to take action? I am setting out for CF on March 29th.Indeed, all future updates are included.

The updates are automatic... IF you have that set on your iPhone. Otherwise you need to manually update them from the App Store. I imagine that most users have automatic updates set.Very generous, indeed! Will your apps download automatically to my iPhone, or do I need to take action? I am setting out for CF on March 29th.
Thrilled to hear this! Leaving in 3 weeks for the Norte with my full suite of wp apps -just in case I decide to change how I end the walk.

See Alex we have to meet and walk one day I was going to ask the very Wise Pilgrim the same question. Then there you are asking it for me!!!!!Very generous, indeed! Will your apps download automatically to my iPhone, or do I need to take action? I am setting out for CF on March 29th.
Download them all it never hurts to have a full variety of options on where you can lay your head at night. Especially last year during Covid on the VDLP I used Wise Pilgrim, Buen Camino and Gronze to find a place to stay.Which iPhone app is best for navigation and up-to-date Albergue info, for the French Camino?
I have this one too, and intend to give it a whirl on my next CF.Camino Ninja App is super updated on Camino Francés with information about what’s open and not all year round
I am single, so I carry both of those myself. I agree pros and cons. So I double check between them every now and then.I use Buen Camino while my wife utilizes Wise Pilgrim - different strokes for different folks! All seem to have pros/cons.
