Is there such a thing as a Buen Camino App for an Android, to help with direction, enroute?
 
Camino Preparation Guide
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
When it comes to navigation and especially navigation without being online and draining the battery I prefer Maps.me and Windy Maps. Maps.me requires you download the routes as an extra layer before starting out.
Windy Maps already has al the Caminos as far as I can see plus lots of extra information about I.e. accommodation, shopping possibilities for food, water taps etc. Both are very easy to use and won't drain the battery on your phone.
They will not have the little extras about the history of the sections etc but I can do without that.
 
Get a Spanish mobil number + data while on the Camino
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Camino de Santiago Companion use off-line maps and does not need
internet connection. You load the maps in your phone.
If there is room in your phone memory, you can load also photos of Albergues, crossing points e.t.c.
It is payable, but cost is minimal.
My wife was reluctant to use it in the start, but found very handy during her 800 km CF.
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
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,-
The Buen Camino app also has GPS mapping that you can use offline. It has tonsof features. I like that it shows you how far you are to the next town at the top of the screen.
They have a pretty good tutorial video on how to use the app. It starts with an introduction in Spanish, then switches to the tutorial in English.

 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
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.

Awesome! Buen Camino!
 
Yes. My husband used it on the Norte in May.

Or click on my link in post #4 above.

Also watch the Tutorial video in post #7. The first minute is an introduction on Spanish, then the rest is in English.

I'm at the tail end (4 days left) of walking the Camino Primitivo from Oviedo and absolutely love the Buen Camino app on my Samsung Android phone. It has been a huge help in every area - highly recommend it!
