http://www.caminosantiagoastur.com. Go on to las etapas after clicking on the link, you then have a submenu, click on primitivo, you then have several etapas you can click, and all of them once you have gone there has a further option of a map and profile of each section. If you want contact details of all the albergues click on informacion after you have clicked on the link.

Is there any GPS map available for the Camino Primitivo.....I actually don't know how to ask the question. Let me try this.
While walking the English coast to coast walk last year, I met a Dutch couple that had a Handheld GPS device with the trail on it. They simply followed the trail stage by stage.
Is there something like that existing for Camino Primitivo?

I have never used GPS, but try this website I found by searching. It may allow you to download a file you can import to your gps. Good luck.

Hi, Brendan,
I'm not a GPS expert by any means, but I do carry downloaded tracks when I walk remote caminos. I have never downloaded the tracks for the Primitivo because it is so well marked, though. I have found that the best website for tracks for camino routes in Spain is wikiloc.com. That is the site that most Spaniards seem to use. If you go there you can find tracks for the Primitivo. You can download and then transfer to a GPS.

The problem with downloading one track for the entire Camino Primitivo is that the device is limited in terms of the number of "waypoints" it can incorporate per track. So the longer the track you download, the fewer points per km (and thus less accuracy and detail) you are going to get.
That's why you're going to find that the tracks on the website are all in shorter stages. There's a good search function though.

I will add some unsolicited advice here, sorry. I have seen many people walking with their heads in their GPS. I didn't want to be that person, so I made "rules" for myself. Keep the device in my side pocket on the pack. Remove it only when I am at an unmarked intersection or when I have been walking for a long time without seeing an arrow. And never use it on well-marked caminos. I remember last year that when I finished up with the Ebro/Castellano-Aragones/San Olav and got to the Salvador/Primitivo, it was a bit unnerving at first not to have the GPS, but there is really no need for it and walking without it is much more fun, IMO.

Buen camino, Laurie

Thanks for info and advice.
Site is excellent!
I must admit, in all my walks, I have never used a GPS device ......too much to see and enjoy...... and I suspect that I probably will only use it here as Laurie suggests.
I just received a Garmin GPSMAP 64s as a gift and I want to set it up #1. As a backup and #2 probably so I can feel hi-tech.

Really do appreciate the replies.
BUEN CAMINO
