    GPS, a hypothetical question...

    The way to Santiago is well signposted but the return, I think, less so. Could a pilgrim use GPS to help them retrace their steps?

    Starting in Southern France.

    I've a feeling that a pilgrim could walk the entire Camino Frances across Spain without having a single word of Spanish.
