A "Tourigrino" trip once Covid has passed, so 2023
Currently off work with lower back problems at present - some might say this is payback for raising the subject of lightweight, frameless, thin strapped backpacks - but it's given me a chance to meander through the app shop (I can't use our own as it's for iPhones).

Not wanting to be disloyal but these caught my eye (I've taken screenshots you can access through the hyperlinks to Drive):

ALBERGUES - a choice of routes and places to stay

CAMINO PILGRIM - similar information but it has a mapping section
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxqgkEsGNkIadXBIRm5qc05NY2s&usp=sharing

MAPAS DE ESPAGNA - beautifully rendered IGN mapping - the 3D shot will give you pause for thought if you're heading from SJPP to Roncesvales! I think you can import a KML file but haven't tried this yet.

MICAMINO - similar to the first two also with a mapping page

There are lots and lots more but I liked these the best.

Hope they're of some interest.

all the best

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Both look good! Thanks Buz
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Sorry, but WisePilgrim for the Frances is a dog. When walking the Frances in Oct-Nov 2015, every time I tried to open a map, it crashed, meaning it was useless. I was using a Samsung Galaxy S3. For other routes WisePilgrim apps were fine.
