I'm interested in how people organize their tech and electronics items (charging cord, power pack, charger, USB's, phone, plug converters, USB condoms, etc). Do you prefer a small lightweight case with compartments or just use a ziplock bag? Or something in-between? Buen Camino!

For those heading out on Camino shortly, sharing this info from LifeHacker regarding E-Sim cards I didn't realize that the cards could be purchased in advance of arriving in Spain. (Admins - if this isn't permitted, my apologies and understand if deleted.)...

Now I need some help. I clicked on the google map link, and now my google map app shows all of these routes. I just wanted to look at the map, not download it! Can anyone tell me how to delete it from my googlemaps?

Such a seemingly simple thing, but I have struggled for a long time to find a good online map/image that shows all of the camino routes in Spain, and also includes the names of the different routes. I can find countless maps that show some of the routes, and countless ones that show all of the...

We have just completed Camino Frances .One of our small group now needs to buy a new phone as hers has completely failed. In France does anyone have any advice that may be helpful If it will be difficult or ill advised . it would be nice to know as she could possibly wait to purchase a new...

Hello, I am preparing to walk my first Camino, the Frances, starting in mid-September. I'm comparing FindPenguins and PolarSteps. I cannot figure out to paste in a website URL into PolarSteps so that clicking the link brings the user to that web page. When I paste a URL into a PolarSteps...

Does anyone use in app to search for accommodation at upcoming stops? Be interested in any recommendations.

Anyone know if there is a way to make the Official App give distances in kilometers rather than miles? I prefer kilometers but can’t figure out how to do this. Thanks.

I installed Wise Pilgrim and downloaded Primitivo map. Can't open or view it. I only get to online Google maps at my current Home location. Can't click on Offline maps. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello fellow pilgrims! My friend and I are starting Camino Portugués from Valença. The thing is that we are directly arriving from Porto Airport and may not have the time to get a SIM. Would we be able to get a SIM in Valença? I do see a Vodafone store but I'm not sure if they would have...

I started the Camino in Irun 4 days ago. The app shows the route but not my location on the route. I deleted the download and then reinstalled it but it still does not work. My data roaming is on. Help!

Do any pilgrims ever use an emergency locator device, such as the Garmin Messenger. It uses international satellites (Irridium), and the subscription service contracts initiate a local response. Just curious!

We need to take a portable charger for our IPhone on our Camino in Sept. We bought one on Amazon but it's too heavy and bulky - 1 pound. Does anyone have a recommendation for a brand that isn't too heavy? Thanks!

Hello Pilgrims! I was recommended to share my app over here by a couple of Redditors, and figured today is as good a day as any since I just released Android support, along with Booking.com and WhatsApp direct link booking. Two weeks ago I finished my second ever Camino Frances, and due to...

My albergue has a USB port directly above my bed for charging smartphones etc. There is no other outlet. Is this safe to use for my North American phone without having to use an adapter and wall outlet? Thanks in advance.

When I walked the Francés last fall, I used Camino Ninja (which, then already officially "dead," was wonderful). What app have you used to find and then book albergues, hostels, etc. along the Portuguese? I will be on the coast for the first day, then the inland route. Porto-Santiago. I'm...

Hi- Any recommendations for an android app that can track and provide a daily report of my progress? I don't need it for on the go mapping just something at the end of the day that can generate a graph with the elevation profile for the day, distance walked, elevation gained and time etc...

Hello. I'm sure it will be blindingly obvious once I know LOL .... can someone please tell me what the red symbol means (see photo attached)? Thank you

I used Maps.me for my whole journey on the VdlP and Invierno. Loved it. I downloaded each days track from gronze. So easy to just glance at the map and see where I was in relation to the Camino path or variant. I didn't really need to look for arrows or anything...... Free app, free track...

I am 75 miles out from Santiago and all of a sudden Buen Camino will not save a new daily stage. I tried deleting a bunch of old ones, with no success. Any ideas?
