    Apps /gps - trail maps/ questions

    If you don't want your phone to constantly access the Internet to get the maps you download them when you have free wifi available, preferably in advance of needing them. Yes, each of the general navigation apps wants to download their own maps so, e.g., both maps.me and OSMand have their own...

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    I was amused to see a hog on a motorcycle because the hog is usually the thing ridden.

    How to get around on the forum

    There is a Camino Forum app that you may find easier to use (I don't). The Android version on Google's Play Store app repository looks like this:

    LIVE from the Camino BP on the Catalán, June-July 2024

    There is a lovely little art museum hidden away at Montserrat. Here is a link to a picture done by Picasso when he was 15 years old (or so). From there you can look around the website to see if the museum itself will be worth your time visiting...

    Little sculptures

    My collage the other day had part of this photo in it. Most of the columns in the cloister in San Juan de la Peña had sculptured capitals.

    Do you drop any personal restrictions on Camino?

    In Spain I eat olives. I still try to avoid peppers and mushrooms.

    LIVE from the Camino BP on the Catalán, June-July 2024

    I haven't been there but here's their website and Google Maps' info page: https://albergvallparadis.cat/en/ https://maps.app.goo.gl/Xjsy9dBxMrEeFV9a6 Most reviews are 5 star, a couple 1 star and almost nothing in between. Elsewhere on the Catalan I stayed at another place providing lodging for...

    Do some people not get stamps?

    For those who really, really like sellos they can do the same but put extra sellos on additional credentials. Then it's easy to find out where you stayed from the primary credential but you've still got your others. Be sure though that if you want the compostela the primary has two per day for...

    The REAL Camino Viejo - a new project for a Camino alternative.

    At https://openstreetmap.org you can choose to see maps intended for cyclists. These do a really good job showing places where you can get water. My memory tells me that this is done better on those maps than on general maps used by walkers.

    App for find Trails from Le puy Valley to Cahors

    Most of the navigation apps that show trails use underlying maps based off of the Open Street Map (OSM) crowd sourced project. Most will also allow you to download these maps for offline use. The apps may display map features differently and have different ways to perform the same action though...

    Little sculptures

    The other day some robot at Google went through my photos and selected a bunch of small sculptures that it considered should belong together. There was one from New Zealand and a couple from the Rock of Cashel in Ireland but the bulk were from Spain. At the end it allowed me to save them in a...

    Little sculptures

    This totally does not belong here but I wanted @mspath to wake up to some more color that her post above inspired. Titled "Royal Heart" this is my picture of a Sacred Heart inspired jewelry sculpture designed by Dalí on display at an annex at his museum in Figueres. A motor causes the heart to...

    The REAL Camino Viejo - a new project for a Camino alternative.

    I can't help much with the project but I can also put in a good word for rocjumper's Wikiloc tracks. I used them a lot on the Catalan and Aragonese.

    Phone Service while traveling - Holafly?

    I like your review, it covers a lot. It seems very positive and Holafly will be pleased. I would like to know some more about your data usage though. Holafly has it over Airalo for heavy data users (the voice number is nice too) but how much data did you use? I don't use much myself but others...
