find yourself looking at a map....just because?
My hubby loves armchair travel because it's so easy to see videos of beautiful places and avoids the hassles of actually going... Me, I enjoy armchair travel, but mostly because it stokes the fires for my next daydream of actually GOING somewhere new!Armchair travelling, excellent occupation but not quite as good as being out there and walking.
Also I've recently been putting my Camino photos a into Vistaprint photo book. It takes time but my goodness I've been reliving all those memories, every step of the way. I intend to show the finished book to my 5 small grandchildren and will probably bore them stiff with my stories!

No way. They'll love it. Would you believe my kindergartener has been drifting onto the couch and watching some of my Camino stuff on tv with me? She is fascinated by the albergues and how people walk and walk and what they'll see. She watched a Rick Steve's pbs show on the Camino with me, and also parts of the The Way. Your grandkids will think you are the coolest ever. I'm sure of it!
Maps.me is better!My phone is I-Phone6 with a google map and a map apps. I wonder if I can use these apps to guide through the country side as well as cities and towns.
Anybody had any experiences?
The Spanish IGN ones are works of art - contour lines AND shading makes them look almost 3D.
I agree with you Jeff. I have large-scale screenshots all over my desktop.
When the Peter Robbins site was still going, there were similar contour maps of Portugal available. I can't find them anywhere now as interactive maps. Do you know of any website?
Absolutely fascinating. Those Ruskies sure knew what they were doing! And I'm most intrigued that they still don't talk about it now.Anyone who might like to ponder encyclopedic detail on once secret maps will find this recent account in Wired by Grey Miller to be most intriguing. ...What a world it is/was!

I use http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ for interactive maps on my Garmin GPS but have never come across anything to match the sheer beauty of the Spanish ones.
Can't get mspath's link to open for comparison
My first Camino photo book arrived today, there were so many pictures and memories to include that I ran out of space. First book got as far as Leon, now I'm working on the second. Reliving the whole journey of course.No way. They'll love it. Would you believe my kindergartener has been drifting onto the couch and watching some of my Camino stuff on tv with me?
