These chips aren't GPS unfortunately, they only work via Bluetooth. This means that you can only locate things if you are within 30 meters.
I still might get one for finding my keys at home.
Is there any large hills where you live? If so you could go for a test run to get some idea.
Having said that I think you would have just as good an adventure starting from Pamplona.
Good Luck
Hi, I weighed 145 kg when i walked my first camino, down a bit now thank god.
I would recommend tights or long trunk underwear, whatever you choose make sure to try it out before you leave.
I also spent too much time before i left worrying about what other people might think of me trying to walk...
I'm also planning from a long way out. I set off in April 2017 for my second camino.
Whilst the wait can be frustrating it is also nice to have something to look forward to.
Enjoy the wait.
