Yes, this new button from Microsoft should help those pilgrims experiencing negative events on Camino, such as 'too busy', 'too many people', 'refugio might be full', 'too hot', 'too cold', 'too wet', 'too dry', 'cafe was closed'. 'I was woken up early' etc

Only for small laptops so far but they are working on an app for ipads and iphones.

I love it I hope Apple come out with one soon, or better yet attach the bottom to a pole along the camino of course via WIFI

Listen, I had a challenging day, but I am feeling better now thanks to David's handy app. Que la luz de Dios alumbre su camino.

Another well done to you David. I felt driven to take the liberty of sharing it with friends. In retrospect I should have waited until Monday to do so?

Until Mr Brierley figures out a way to to include this feature in printed guidebooks, I guess we Luddites will have to give in and take along some of those electronic gadgets that everyone seems so eager to have with them on the Camino.

What happens if there's no wi-fi? Will it still work?! That might stress some people out

Laughing sure makes everything ok. Funny man Davud. Life on Camino is pretty carefree but- FYI, your app works on this iPhone 6
Lol.
