It has blue lettering, for instance on the Sevilla to Camas section that says, "LOOKING AT THE SCROLLABLE MAP" but I haven't found the scrollable map yet, apparently.
Have you looked at the FREE Eroski Consumer Camino App?
It's in Spanish but quite good.
But I can't get the map on that one either, without it crashing. Frustrating as heck.
I printed out all the map stages of the Sanabres. I then cut them out and taped them into one long page and folded it. That will be my guia!
They don't have an app for Android devices. But I found another one for free, from IndepenTrip (it is called IT Via de la Plata). Big one, 114 MB, and yes, crashing quite a lot. But it has everything you need: maps (with route on it), itinerary, places to stay...Anniesantiago said:Have you looked at the FREE Eroski Consumer Camino App?

Can you please tell me how to get Melanie's Via de la Plata app.
Thank you in advance, Sue
Is this app still available? I cannot find it in the App StoreYou should be able find it here and also under the camino resource section
http://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/resources/english-language-app-guidebook-to-the-vdlp.56/

Thank you for asking her and for post her response.I just sent an email to Melanie to see if she can help. I too have been unable to download her app for iPhone. I'll post her reply.
I walked the Plata this March and found the app very useful. As a rule, I checked this Forum for current information on detours and open albergues. With the app and conversations with locals and any German (serious compliment as most German over-plan) you will have more information than you need.This conversation started 2 1/2 years ago - do those of you who used the app think the information contained in it will still be useful next year? ie is it mainly stuff about the history of towns etc (and that is not going to change!) or is it heavily weighted towards detours and route problems that may no longer exist?
The app is unavailable and I leave tomorrow. Is there any other app you heard about that was great?I walked the Plata this March and found the app very useful.

I would download the Eroski ap. It's just called Camino and it's free. It's in Spanish, but it gives distances and accommodations, restaurants, etc, so you should be able to get some use out of it even if you don't speak Spanish. (If I remember correctly, you're starting in Ourense, so look for the Camino Sanabres) Buen camino, Noey, and let us know how it goes for you! LaurieThe app is unavailable and I leave tomorrow.
