Chemin du Puy & Camino Francés (summer 2014), Chemin du Puy & Camino Francés (possible summer 2019)
Does anyone know of some useful apps to use along the camino, that can work offline? I'd especially like one that can track distance, elevation, speed, etc. Other types might be such as Miam Miam Dodo, maps, or anything else you can think of. I have an iPhone.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Which camino do you intend to hike?
 
Le Puy to Santiago
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
MMDD for Le Puy to SJPP was a great resource for me. If you plan to have phone service even when "offline" in terms of internet access, it's more valuable still.

Is the app the same as the printed book?

MotionX GPS worked great for me on an iPhone 5. You can download all the terrain maps along your Camino, download the track for your Camino, and track your walk.

What do you mean by downloading the track for the Camino?

Various people have created tracks of the different Caminos and posted them on the Web. A track is the path you want to follow to stay on the Camino. If you download the track into MotionX GPS (a process which is a little complicated, but if I managed it you almost surely can as well, at least with a little of the help so generously provided on this forum), when you open up MotionX GPS you will see, on your map, where you are, and where the Camino is. If the two are not the same, you know you made a wrong turn. Or the track was wrong. The one I downloaded was very accurate; if it said I was on the Camino, I would shortly see a yellow arrow or scallop shell confirming this. A couple of times it showed alternative routes, and once or twice it showed a path on what was probably the Camino before a slight route change was handed down from whoever decided these things. But, with a little common sense, it was great to have the track display on the map. I'm going to do a Pilgrimage to Assisi next fall, and wish I could find tracks for that.

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Will do. Where are you thinking of starting? Have you found a forum or other source on information on St. Francis treks?
