...of the fantastic app that I downloaded from here...

Apologies as I am sure there is a thread for it. However, my wife and I finished our first Camino on 25th October...it was bloody wonderful and we loved it...(in spite of one or three very sweary days!!)...

I just wanted to say that the App came in handy numerous times and I heartily recommend it to anyone doing the Frances...we used it sometimes when leaving in the dark especially leaving a city, which has too many roads!!

We are now starting to talk about another Camino...perhaps the Portugues?? For 2021...so many thanks to all who helped and advised me in the run up to our first Camino...

Buen Camino!!

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

It's an app that I was convinced I had downloaded from this site but the weird thing is, I can't now find where on the site it is. It was so useful when we did the Camino so I wanted to give it a thumbs up.

On my phone, it is called Camino Places and when I open it, it mentions 'Wisely' and Wise Pilgrim. It also mentions Casa Ivar, which is attached to this site, isn't it?

I am a bit confused now and that's unfortunate as I was looking for an app for the Camino Portugues...

Is it this?
 
It doesn't look like that when you open it...it has a trail of red dots, denoting the route of the Camino and at times there are also trails in green, offering alternative routes...and there is a flashing blue dot, telling you where you are...

Does that sound familiar?
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Join the Camino Cleanup in May from Ponferrada to Sarria. Registration closes Mar 22.
Is there an app that overlays the routes/paths on a map so the user can zoom in on each option?

Being able to zoom in on each option off-line, or see your location on-line would have prevented us being lost several times.

Being able to scale the elevation or slope more accurately that paper guide books would be a big bonus.
