@Innkeeper, you can try wikiloc.
There are many tracks there you can download and then open in other apps. I use OSMand, and it worked fine.

I did the first half of the Via de La Plata in May and I really like Windy maps. You don't have to download the route. By expanding the screen you see the Via del Plata and your place on it. I thought it was easy to use and reliable.

When I walked the VDLP I used maps.me and downloaded the route via Gerald Kelly's webpage. He also has an online guide to download which came in really handy.

It's really not necessary.
Just follow the arrows like we did in 'the old days.'

Hi innkeeper
I found Thomas’ resources to be excellent.
Refer to his post and ‘link’ above for full details.
Using maps me ‘when required’ in the trail, you don’t need to use data - it works offline. Just use ‘as needed’ tho to conserve your battery.
His link includes tracks for so many of the routes that once you’ve downloaded maps me app to your phone , these tracks overlay .. magic when you’re just needing to find out where the track is ..

Buen camino
Annie

I don't have access to my laptop right now. Cutting and pasting links, or trying to on my tablet, for me is an exercise in frustration. If you type in viadelaplataguide.net you will end up in the right place. The link to download gps tracks appears after you click on download and get a download email. Hope this helps.
