Hi, sorry I can't help you there but I wish you a Buen Camino, Peter.I will be embarking on my first Camino in early September out of Porto and planning to do mostly coastal. I'm admitantly a bit overwhelmed by all the map/direction info out there and came across the Brierly app that has lots of other possibly handy features.
Has anyone used it for the Portugal route coastal and/or interior and could kindly give me some insight?
Or any suggestions for other apps.
Thanks so much!
It is a nice schedule on caminoporlacosta.es/etapas.I'll be walking that part in early 2016 and plan on basing my route on these routes: http://www.caminoporlacosta.es/etapas
As for app, I do not know the Brierly one, but will use Viewranger with this route (I've made it myself from the link above and other sources - I'm quite proud of it!!): http://my.viewranger.com/route/details/NzAzMjE= I use viewranger to track where I'm going
You can also use the excellent maps.me - and load a route into it on your phone (I can provide the correct filetype and the route above for you if you are interested). maps.me will be my backup map on the camino...
You can download the maps in both viewranger and maps.me so you are offline while walking. I would recomment maps.me as it is easier to download and it app also shows accomodation and places to eat and shop as well...
Great app ! Just downloaded it. interesting for our coming trip to the south of Germany, biking. Thanks for sharingI'll be walking that part in early 2016 and plan on basing my route on these routes: http://www.caminoporlacosta.es/etapas

@Albertinho--I'm not sure if it includes the CP but you've confirmed my thinking that it can't be too terribly difficult to follow the coastline until I decide to head inland. Thanks for the reply!What I saw about it was that the app has been designed for the camino Francès unless you have seen another one about the Portugese caminho .I cannot find that one.
Walking along the coast is just keeping the ocean at your left, heading north.
It is reasonably way marked. Only direction Vigo from Baiona you have to make your decisions to follow the coastline or go into the hills .both routes are waymarked. The coastline from Nigrán by green waymarkers. The yellow ones continue and lead you into the hills as been said before.
On your way you allways can leave the coastal to the central route. In Vila do Conde and in Caminha.
Bom caminho
@cj2003--you are a master planner, no? I've been following all your impressive route making/sleeping option documents. Thanks so much for the links here. I'm intrigued by the tapas link but can't get it to translate in Google translator. Will have to keep at it. Thanks again!I'll be walking that part in early 2016 and plan on basing my route on these routes: http://www.caminoporlacosta.es/etapas

. Aswell in Vila do Conde as in Caminha the trail to the central route is waymarked by yellow waymarkers.@Albertinho--I'm not sure if it includes the CP but you've confirmed my thinking that it can't be too terribly difficult to follow the coastline until I decide to head inland.
