    Elevation Profile digital resource

    Getting the info directly from the albergue is not a problem, these days most of them have some public web presence. It's the initial information for their site that would be helpful. I also plan to do the trails again myself to because using it personally is one of the main reasons I'm doing...

    Elevation Profile digital resource

    Just an update on this for anyone who's curious in the future. With a gps route, you can use the google API https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/elevation/intro to get an elevation chart. Thanks @stratophile for reminding me that Google exists! Now on to albergue information. Does...

    Elevation Profile digital resource

    Thanks! I didn't even think of using Google Maps to get the elevation profile. Hopefully they have a way of extracting the elevations into a list, will look into this. In the mean time, if anyone else has any leads let me know!

    Elevation Profile digital resource

    Hi there, I was wondering if there was a resource that had the elevation profile in digital form? I am creating an app and this would be very helpful. I already have the GPS info thanks to some resources, and I know there are some elevation printouts there that I can use to eyeball the data...

    App to follow Camino

    I am in the process of creating an app for the Camino and incorporating modern designs, more sophisticated user experiences, and more features.

    Best Apps for Camino Frances?

    Thanks so much for the survey response! In one of your cases, I have something in mind that would really help that. Will definitely reach out to you directly when I can to bounce some ideas.

    Best Apps for Camino Frances?

    I'm a fellow pilgrim and have become obsessed with it. I'm also a software engineer and wanted to combine my two passions, so I'm in the process of doing research to create another app. Essentially, I've evaluated all of the options available and think I can make a better one. If you'd like to...

    Camino Frances App

    For those of you who've used an app on the Camino, would you mind helping me out by doing a survey about your app experience and what else you'd like to see in it! Survey here. I'm doing research to see if I can develop a better mobile app (after having used most of them), and can really use...

    Another question for you guys. How important do you think images are in your apps or guidebooks, of the scenery and of the albergues?

    Camino App Ideas and Brainstorming--help me find the Way :)

    Thanks! I have done a comparison of the apps, including of course Wise Pilgrim. I appreciate your input. Ultimately, I would not pursue this venture if I didn't think I can add something of value.

    Camino App Ideas and Brainstorming--help me find the Way :)

    Hello fellow peregrinos! I’ve done a few routes and it’s become something of an obsession of mine. I also happen to be a software developer, and was thinking of merging my two passions. I used an app in my last camino, and although it did the job, I felt like it could be improved, and am...
