Interactive Map

[larry1948]

Is there an online map similar to Google maps that displays Camino routes along with all streets and roads?

 

[trecile]

Mapy.cz does. In the online version you need to choose the "outdoor" option and zoom in to see the Camino routes, which are dark blue lines.

Camino apps like Buen Camino and Wise Pilgrim have interactive maps showing the Camino routes and your location.

Google Maps is capable of displaying Camino routes, search the forum if interested. I use Google Maps with my Camino of interest when I walk in Spain.

Mapy.cz is the one I use now.

You can make your own using Open Street Map. You can view this on a PC, a mobile, an Ipad etc

If you want to make your own google map, use “google my maps” it’s very nice

Check this one out.
You van make any route you want on your PC and transfer to the App.
You can import other routes to your app (e.a. .gpx type)

Check this one out.

That (Locus Map) looks really interesting. Do you use it, and do you find it fairly user friendly?

 

[Thomas1962]

Yes there is. For the Spanish caminos look at the bottom of this page. If on a computer you click exactly on a route, you will see the info of each route.
For other countries there are other maps too.

@C clearly I used it to create Camino preparation routes at home on my laptop and used it afterward on my Garmin GPSMap64.
Worked fine.
Normally all the Camino's are already on the maps. There are regularly updates.
I think that like all the phone GPS mapping Apps it will drain the battery quicker.
I used it only on the Camino when I was not sure if I still was on the Camino.
Try at home before using it on the Camino to see if your phone last long enough, not every phone is the same.
It is not entirely free if you want more maps.

I just use windy.com, zoomed in.

I used Mapy.cz on the Via de la Plata and it was great, showing the main route, alternatives, etc.

Thank you to all. Very informative.

My favorite and default is Mapy.cz. But for the sake of completeness, I'll add that Gronze.com recently put out their own app for this. And I've had situations in which it displayed more up-to-date info than Mapy.cz.

Do they? What is it called?

Gronze Maps, I believe....

 

[MikeJS]

Could not find anything under Gronze maps or simply gronze. Just found out it is android only.

Yes, it's Android only and requires a data connection.

I did that. I then put in the GPS tracks for Iberian Caminos from the Spanish National Institute for Geography. Then I added albergues, bars and restaurants that had been recommended here on the forums. The result is this Camino map.

The FarOut app is my go-to navigation app. One can download the trails on to one's phone as use them off line.

For map geeks, creating your own maps on Google and other platforms can be fun, but if you want straightforward maps of the Camino I think that the Camino app developers have done a great job. There's really no need to reinvent the wheel, when it's already been done well. The apps have maps that can be downloaded and used offline without an internet connection.

My two favorite apps are Wise Pilgrim and Buen Camino

maps.me runs off-line although you have to download and/or update its maps when online. You have to select the area you want to download, and you can delete area you no longer need to save space.

It has more than one source for maps; one of them is Open Street Map. It doesn’t come with Camino routes, but more than one website has them as GPX files, which you can load ito maps.me for display.

You can also have it record your actual path if your device has GPS.

It can also find things for you if online or if they are on a downloaded map.

If online and have GPS, it can give directions for getting to a place, although it tends to make stupid unnecessary detours that lengthen the distance.
