I've just completed a blog entry comparing Galileo Pro and Pocket Earth, for those wondering about taking a GPS app with on Camino. Here's the link to the story.

Great info! Your clear terse descriptions should help so many from getting lost while on the trail. Thanks for posting.

Brilliant! Thank you so much. I think it might have been you, Charl, who put me on to Galileo. I had to delete the app and maps to save space on my old phone. And I was just thinking the other day that I needed to put it back on and learn a bit more about gps. And here you are again! Thank you so much. I just bought pocket earth for a walk in the UK in May.

Glad you found the post useful! And yes I'm a big fan of Galileo but think will switch now.

I am so grateful for your posting!
I bought Pocket Earth and I was completely baffled when trying to transfer my route on it
Thank you.
