On Camino del norte now
I started the Camino in Irun 4 days ago. The app shows the route but not my location on the route. I deleted the download and then reinstalled it but it still does not work. My data roaming is on. Help!

Which app are you using?

Both Wise Pilgrim and Buen Camino apps require further downloads after you have installed the apps for complete offline functionality.

Please tell us which app you are using.

If it's Wise Pilgrim you can contact the developer @wisepilgrim right here on the forum via private message. If it's Buen Camino You can use the "Information and Contact" button within the app.



Or you may just need to turn on "location services" for the app in your phone's settings.

I had a similar issue using Wise Pilgrim on my recent Camino. Sometimes, and for some reason, If I clicked on the town name of where I was, then I could not find my location. What worked for me was to go to the staring screen of the app and click on the icon in the top right: the black circle with the compass icons. This was with the Android version.

Admittedly that may be in the user guide that I never bothered to read.

Yes I had the same problem. Turn on your Location Services. Different places for Android and IPhone.
 
I’ve used Wise Pilgrim and if everything is down loaded you are the blue dot. I’ve never gotten lost I just point my phone where I’m heading and follow the map.

I had that issue. It was because I had my VPN on. Turned it off and it worked fine.

Is it possible to view the downloaded map before you go? I can't see where to open the map, even though the download said "Done."
