  Hola @CaminoKevin. Yes. I've walked as a pilgrim without a Smartphone: across Europe and Spain, in the Holy Land and some other places. Thousands of kilometers at a time on established, mostly signed trails. I used paper maps, guide books and...

  I recently read an interesting academic article which may be relevant here - just in Norway for the ways of St Olav. "Caminoisation" is perhaps a term that seems applicable? Or not? (Which in no way dampens my enthusiasm for these routes in...
