I forgot to print out the maps before I went (!) so I did it without, last year. I don't use GPS either. Waymarks are frequent. But there are always places where you could get confused, I mean, on any Camino. And I did sometimes. Print out guides and/or maps from: Mundicamino or Eroski. BUT there is a member on this Forum, Peregrina 2000 (Laurie) who has made an updated guide for 2016 with help from other members. It's the one at the top of this very page. It's the one most up-to-date so far!

AJ: I found some exceptional detailed maps of the Camino Frances on the internet. I printed them out in high definition color and then had them laminated at a local copy store. Each map is two sided, about 6 inches by 3 inches. I have 5 maps to cover the distance from Astorga to Santiago on the Camino Frances.

This is my third time on the Camino, and I found that maps were lacking each and every time. The Brierly book was cumbersome to open and carry, and I really didn't need the verbiage, only the maps. I now have an easy reference point I can carry when walking. We are again walking from Astorga to Santiago with family members on September 1 this year.

Buen Camino - Steve

There's another thread that I posted on here a couple of months ago, titled Useful Website about the Camino de Invierno. It's got good maps and photos. But you can't go wrong with Laurie's up-to-date version of the Camino Guide. Some of us have also posted our notes in other threads.
