The feature I want is the gps tracking, showing where I am and where the trail is. Do you know if these apps have this. I think AllTrails you can download maps to use offline and the gps still works even offline. (That’s my understanding, not sure if it’s accurate).I wouldn't use All Trails for the Camino when there are a number of dedicated Camino apps (some of them are free) with the entire route in GPS which you can download and use offline.
The two that I use most are Buen Camino and Wise Pilgrim.
I've heard that people like Camino Ninja, but I haven't used it yet.
Yes. They all have GPS tracking showing your location on the Camino.The feature I want is the gps tracking, showing where I am and where the trail is. Do you know if these apps have this.

There are numerous apps that do this. As mentioned above, some apps are made specifically for the more popular camino routes and include additional camino information.they said you could download maps ahead and then when walking will access where you are and where the actual Camino path is if you get off track
I use all trails for other things but the Far Out (Guthook) app is brilliant for the Camino. The GPS locater is amazingly accurate. You can download 3 different maps for off line reading, it has main and alternative routes in different couloirs and it also has water sources, places to stay and a really helpful gradient faunction so you can see the profile of what’s aheadSomeone was telling me about the all-trails app on this forum and I can’t seem to find it. I believe they said you could download maps ahead and then when walking will access where you are and where the actual Camino path is if you get off track. I checked the App Store but it didn’t explain it very well. Any thoughts? I definitely want an app that shows the actual Camino and locates where I am.
Try Trailsmart. U can buy offline maps if you so choose. It works in airplane mode. It lists accommodations. Stores pharmacies etc... Also it has albergues hotels with phone numbers addresses etc... And it shows you where you are on the trail and it also list alternatives routes.Someone was telling me about the all-trails app on this forum and I can’t seem to find it.

Hi,Yes, they do. I tend to use Wise Pilgrim. You download the maps when you have wifi and they are there offline. As you walk the app locates you in relation to the trail. With accommodation (including telephone numbers and links to booking services) and all other services, It also gives you written clues if there are any difficult spots or inconsistencies in the trail.
There are Wise Pilgrim apps for different routes. There is one for the Portuguese (it includes all the main routes in Portugal) but I don't think there is one for the Le Puy. In France for the Le Puy and other routes I used maps.me with the route downloaded each day, or iPhiGenie. Neither of those have accommodation - they are simply mapping apps that geotag your progress, so you can see if you are straying off the path. We did a fair bit of "off piste" walking in France (deliberately, we often wanted to see things that were off the route). In France I have always relied on Miam Miam Dodo for accommodation, meals, services etc. It comes in a book but is also available now in an app - but the maps are just diagrammatic. Or at least they used to be.Hi,
Does the Wise Pilgrim app work for the Portuguese or Le Puy routes? (I leave in July for my 3rd camino and haven't yet decided which route I will take - any opinions would be welcome. I'm torn between Lisbon-Santiago, Le Puy to SJPDP, or a return to the Frances.)

You might try the website of the Dutch Confraternity. I keep all the routes in Spain on my phone, and find they are reasonably good. The website can be a bit confusing, but I think that if you scroll down this page, you will find a file with the routes in France.Hi.
I'm new to maps.me. I've been searching all over for maps of the Le Puy route, but I can't seem to find anything that claims to be reasonably up to date. Any recommendations on where I look?
Thanks in advance for help anyone can provide.
Thanks, but when I look on that site only two maps refer to "Podiensis" or "Le Puy", and when I downloaded them they were not the routes from Le Puy to SJPDP.You might try the website of the Dutch Confraternity.

Have you looked on Wikiloc?
Have you tried downloading "All Pilgrim Routes in France"?when I look on that site only two maps refer to "Podiensis" or "Le Puy", and when I downloaded them they were not the routes from Le Puy to SJPDP.
It does. This guide is part of the free series I started and is more of a directory than a guide. But the maps work and they work offline.There are Wise Pilgrim apps for different routes.

Did you scroll all the way down on the downloadpage?Thanks, but when I look on that site only two maps refer to "Podiensis" or "Le Puy", and when I downloaded them they were not the routes from Le Puy to SJPDP.
I haven't tried Wikiloc yet. Everyone here seemed to mention maps.me, so I was focused on that app for right now.
Wise pilgrim has an app for the Podiensis (Le Puy to SJPdP). Works like a charmDid you scroll all the way down on the downloadpage?
There you will find Voorzieningen route Vezelay - Saint Jean Pied de Port (via Le Puy en Velay).
