€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
I am starting vdlp tomorrow and downloaded this but hundreds of numbers came up on my iPhone. Perhaps my meager technical skills limit me?
Sounds like you opened the file without a gps app. Try opening the file in a specific app such as motionx or even google maps

I opened google maps and see no indication there is a way to download a gps file into it? Could you be more specific please?
 
Ok, that file is a.gpx file, the standard gps format. It can be loaded into a handheld gps or an app such as motionx gps. Options:

1 Look and see if a .klm or. Kmz file exists. It will open in google maps. You can also convert it with http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert_input

2 Download motionx gps app. It will open that .gpx file nicely.

3 (BEST:) Download the app maps.me. Download the maps of your area so you have them offline. Get a .kmz file and load it into the app. You'll have the track and a detailed map everywhere, all the time
 
Thank you for this GPS file. I've loaded it onto OruxMaps and it looks great. I think this will help a lot. I got a map of Spain from OpenAndroMaps and loaded it onto OruxMaps and then opened the .gpx file and voilà, it looks great! Thank you!
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Thanks again, newfydog -- but to warn others who find this thread, that route is now out of date. I based my route on this and another gpx file I found online which were in encouraging agreement, but (as it proved) both are now wrong in 2018. Note the original post here was in 2013.

I ran the last 110km or so from Ourense to Santiago on Thursday. The first problem I hit with this route was that it crossed a new high-speed rail line; the official waymarks route around it, under a viaduct. The second problem came later on when again the official waymarks now point another way (but rather indistinctly), and this route becomes an overgrown footpath terminating in a precipitous drop to a new highway cutting! I had to crash through some woods until the bank got low enough to get down safely.

My story of doing the Camino in one day is here by the way: www.wartnaby.org/running/camino
 
Is there an up to date GPX file for the Via de la Plata? I'm restarting the route this week from just west of A Gudina.
 
Is there up to date GPX tracks available for the Sanabres?
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
