Would love some suggestions. Hubby is a geek freak and this would appeal to him and maybe help with some reassurance.I have done that too and have suggestions.
Some of us younger pilgrims have memory issues . . . Put down the camera while charging the battery and leave it under the pillow when you walk out. This way I donated nothing involuntarily on my last trip.Why would you need a " search thing "
This would be me, at a spry 63 yrs young. Add I wake up slow and may not get coffee .... I may be able to put these to good use.Some of us younger pilgrims have memory issues . .

Hubby always is hunting his wallet, keys, phone even at home.
I used ViewRange App on my phone. Worked GREAT. Uses GPS only while walking, no need for Wifi and minimal battery usage. See my website for the results of how it looks. Each night I would upload my track - synch it using wifi at the albergue or a bar. When you post pictures on Flickr these auto-link with dots on your track too - based upon time taken. Very cool. See my website blog here: http://mikeshawtoday.blogspot.com/I saw this article online for a Geo Tracker and wondered if anyone has ever used one on the Camino. It seems to have a fairly limited range, unless other trackers are near (or something).
This is a link to one of the many trackers on the market. Not advocating this brand or any other, as I have never used one.

if your back pack wasn't on the plane.... What could you do except worry about to for the flight....
Good idea, but expensive roaming charges would have applied? But now, from 11Jun, across Europe, phone and data roaming does not carry additional charges. One of the (few?) very good decisions of the EU.I have the app followmee on my smart phone. With a data connection it will track the phone as it moves across the country. You can have it mark hourly or every minute and or various levels iterations in between. My parents loved the ability to see where I had walked that day.
Anyone who is interested can PM me for more details.

It works by Bluetooth, and you need a data plan, see other post. Great if you have that, your phone will bleep when a connection is lost.I saw this article online for a Geo Tracker and wondered if anyone has ever used one on the Camino.
