On VF at Besancon without a guidebook:Ideas urgently required

Time of past OR future Camino
2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017,2018, (2019)
I have just been notified that my Paul Chinn guidebooks for Besancon to Vercelli and from Vercelli to Rome have been sent to a post office in Switzerland (Aubonne?) instead of one here in France.
I am in Besancon right now and I can't afford to stay here while another set is sourced and posted to me. Has anyone got any practical advice to share that will help me to continue my journey and/or to be reunited with my invaluable guide books? If anyone can provide the stage names and distances from Besancon to the Great St Bernand Pass that would be a great help, not least in enabling me to decide how practical it is to deviate from the VF route to go to the Post Office in Aubonne, Switzerland.
Thank-you.

Newfydog, I have an iPhone but I'm not really qualified to use it. I have fought shy of GPS on the basis that I will incur horrendous UK data roaming charges if I switch it on outside a Wi-Fi network. I am grateful for the offer and will say "yes" in the hope my fears are baseless.

Hello! I'm starting research on the VF and, having walked the Camino Francés, I wonder how laundry/hand washing facilities and situations compare on the Francigena. I know there are more private...
