A good app for Via Podiensis?

Anyone have a recommendation for a good app to use while walking the Via Podiensis? I’m starting in Le Puy and walking for 2 weeks. Would love to find an app with a good map and lodging/food options highlighted. Thanks!

I much prefer to use generic tools rather than an app, but I think Wise Pilgrim has an app for the Via Podiensis. I did use the Wise Pilgrim app to complement the other tools that I was using doing the CP this year, and it it worked quite well for what I wanted.
 
I used wise app as well. Very good.

Good luck.

Not an app but I think one comes with it? The Miam Miam Dodo guide book is amazing for all that you need.
 
I booked all our lodging through Gronze and was very pleased. Everything is so well marked that unless one plans to do off trail hiking I’m not sure that a map would be needed.

I have yet to walk a camino where there hasn't been some unplanned deviation from the marked path. Having a reasonable map on a handheld GPS or smartphone has given me the option of finding an alternative to go forward to wherever I am headed that day. This is often, but not always, far better than retracing one's steps to find that turn marker one inadvertently missed.

We used Wise Pilgrim on the CP and loved it. Walking from Le Puy in Sept 2022 and have downloaded it for the Podiensis.
 
Miam Miam Dodo is great but if you do the variant to the Cele you will need to buy a second guide book.
