Hi newfydog.Here's how to set it up:
Download the attached .gpx file
Email it to gpsimport@motionx.com.
They will send you a file back. Open that file with the motion x app.
To get a good basemap which will work offline, download a map of the area.
Menu
Map zoom out, go to Spain
Maps-----button bottom left
Map download
Motionx road
Route ---- button at top
shape the oval to the area you want
Next
Min zoom I don't know what this does, use about 7
Max zoom--This is very sensitive. I found I need to use 15 to get little roads with the street name. At 15 northern Spain is 1.8 GB and an hour download. 14 is 0.4gb, but might not have the detail. You might do it in pieces as you go if you don't have the memory.
Where it say motionx tile set, give it a name you recognize.
Download (do this with wifi, not a data plan!)
Now you'll have that track on a map all the time, without phone signal or Wi-Fi If you don't see the track, go to tracks...all tracks.. select the track.... and hit follow
Buen Camino

Good question ......i would guess that if the app loads, you'll be able to download the maps. You can scroll around and look at maps in airplane mode just fine.
Hi Ralph,Can you recommend which service provider within France that can supply me with a Sim Card for data on my iPad mini. I do understand that satellite signals may be difficult to receive.

http://www.ausbt.com.au/the-best-sim-cards-for-voice-and-mobile-internet-data-in-franceAs a regular traveller to France and a fluent French speaker, I'm often asked for my advice on which French SIM or microSIM card is the best for an iPhone, iPad, Android device, Internet USB stick or pocket 3G-wifi router: Orange? SFR? Bouyges Telecom?
My first piece of advice is this: don't even try.
Did you have GPS active or just use the plan map tool?When I walked from Le Puy to SJPdP in may I used Miam Miam Dodo's iphone app called imiam. It was perfect. Not sure if it's still supported though.
Newfydog, thanks for recommending MotionX, which I used with great success from SJPdP to Santiago last fall. It was really great.Here's how to set it up:

Got it. Thanks!Ooops
If you go to the "Resources" section here, look under ... guides....gps tracks, you'll find the proper track.
Thanks. Do you think it is accurate?Nope, no idea where it came from. I collect GPS tracks like a hoarder with a yard full of old tires and beer bottles.
