Wise Pilgrim app mapping

[MYork]

Hello all! To use the map feature of the app, may I assume one has to be on the Camino to actually use it? How does one use the downloaded map ? I guess I can wait until my Tuesday arrival at SJJdP, but thought I would ask. Thanks! Mark

When I'm at home the map does show my current location, but I can zoom out and swipe the map all the way over to Europe ( I'm in the US). But why do you need to?

Thanks for your reply! Just to see how it works. I see it now. Does it show real time, “here’s where you are”, information?

Yep. Handy for confirming you are still on the path when you haven't seen a marker for a while, or showing you when you've wandered off.

Do you still need internet connection on your iPhone to show location even if you have downloaded the maps ?

Quick question—-
I’ve “downloaded the Wise maps offline”-
So Poof… when I’m on CF- and I “click “ on the Maps feature on Wise Pilgrim- they will be there?

No, when you download the maps they will work offline.

Yes, the maps will be there. You may need to wait a few seconds for them to load.

I’m in St Jean Pied de Port, and the app works great! As stated above, the offline version takes time to load, and looks different. I’m attaching photos. The white one is the downloaded one, showing half not yet loaded.
