Are there any paper maps of the Frances? I found these referred to on the Australian Friends of the Camino site but have had no luck sourcing them.View attachment 54249 As time is running out before I go I was wondering if there is anything similar available in SJPDP? I have searched the forum and can't seem to find an answer.

Thanks, this looks like a good place to start.Have a look at this website. (I googled "hiking store st jean pied de port"). There is even an email address for you to reserve things.
Is there a reason you want a map?
Hi, Lindsay.
The Camino is so well marked that you really don't need paper maps to find your way. In larger cities, as a tourist, they could be helpful, but I just do an offline Google Maps download on my smartphone and can use that to efficiently find my way.
If you are just continuing through the city walking Camino and not staying over, like Pamplona or Sahagun, even then it is fairly easy to follow the markings and sidewalk/street inlays showing the way.
I carried Brierley's maps only book. It is compact, light, and has all of the maps he has in his much heavier guidebook. I didn't really need it, but I used it to make little observations and notes on the map matching my location.
One problem with Google Maps is that it doesn't actually show the Camino.
It will if you ask it nicely enough - CAMINO VASCOOne problem with Google Maps is that it doesn't actually show the Camino.
Jeff, I can't get this to work.It will if you ask it nicely enough - CAMINO VASCO
Oops! I was doing some clean up on the laptop and erased the map! Off to the naughty step. I'll try again!Jeff, I can't get this to work.
See if THIS works - I'd left it set to private!Jeff, I can't get this to work.
If you want to have a go yourself the attached is how to do it. In the past I've found that sometimes .gpx is better than .kml/kmx - it varies on the quality of the data. You can also jazz around with the colour of the track, the icons you can use (look carefully and you'll see you can choose old or new icon - I like the old ones better but there are more in the new collection).Got it - thanks.
I'd like to try this, Jeff, so thanks for the instructions! I vaguely remember reading once that Google only keeps personal maps for 30 days. Do you know if there is indeed a time limit?If you want to have a go yourself the attached is how to do it.
Glad to be of service! Google do two type of personal maps. These ones are stored on your Google Drive (don't forget you get a basic 15Gb of storage for each Google account!) and stay there forever - I've one for the sailing directions in the song "Spanish Ladies" that's been hanging around for years!I'd like to try this, Jeff, so thanks for the instructions!

This is very helpful, Jeff! I had no idea there were two different types. I'll try it next week when I get home from a short trip.Google do two type of personal maps.
