Hi.
My travel app on the VDLP just came out on iTunes at:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/via-de-l ... 71301?mt=8
The app currently works on iPhones, iTouches and iPads, although in a few months it should be available for Droids as well. It's especially useful for the Camino because you don't have to carry around a separate book -- it's all on your phone.
The app's main focus is on the route so people know what to expect each leg. I've also noted all tricky spots through text, photos and maps. Maps are scrollable offline, plus I've added in some photo maps to help, too. And, of course, the text talks about how to get from A to B. There's also information on the cities/towns, points of interest, restaurants, lodging outside of the albergues and so on. And lots of photos.
NOTE: Right now the app covers Sevilla to Merida, but I will continue to go back to walk the rest and add to it so it will be complete within a year. I head out March 13 to walk Merida-Salamanca, and will have an update shortly afterward to fold this section into the app. The app is $2.99 and all updates are free forever.
Enjoy!
Melanie
