Great much appreciated!
I’m looking for the most recent WisePilgrim guide book + Ap for the VDLP. I was certain a new one should be available in January 2019. Does anyone know more? Are preorders being taken? I really liked the El Norte Ap. Nothing for the VDLP is on sale on the Ivar store page. Thanks.
Michael has not yet published his paper version of the Guide to the Camino de la Plata. It is in development now. When it is published, I am certain Ivar will feature it in the shop at Casa Ivar...
In the meanwhile, the smartphone app is available online. However, the app is two years old. At least my copy is, and I keep my apps updated and current at all times.
My understanding is that Michael is focusing on getting the needed information and updates to release the updated apps and roll out the first ever printed VdlP Guide.
Remember, the VdlP is a LONG Camino, over 1,000 km. This is longer than the Frances at 799 km. So there is a LOT of information to be obtained, sorted, arranged and maintained as current.
We must all be patient. I too am awaiting this material.
Hope this helps.
The GK 2019 Edition is now available on the Confraternity of St James website and is currently discounted to £6.99.I think the one presently in the App Store is a couple of years old GK lastest has not yet been published, he did mention Jan 2019.

Hope you are not missing something as I have just ordered one with hopefully the very latest information - I start on the 22 March.Hmmmm?
Just looked at the CSJ site.
I found the GK 2019 edition.
I'm confused now.
I have the GK 2016 edition which clearly says "Second Edition".
The 2019 edition also says "Second Edition".
Am I missing something?

Are these apps compatible with Android phones or just i phones. I was a little confused when looking on line and following the threads. Perhaps, as a fully paid up member of the Luddites, I should stick to the paper guide!So do I. I think IMHO, that the Wise Pilgrim Guides and their Wisely digital counterparts are the best Camino guides out there.
I have no commercial involvement or financial attachment. However, I am a friend of the developer. This notwithstanding, a good idea or concept is good, regardless.
These guides are concise, factual, and current (VdlP aside).
Hope this helps.

For what it's worth, Gerald Kelly was walking the VdlP this past spring, in order to update his guide.
Unfortunately, I only got to walk part of the Via last spring. I just came back from a short trip this week and will be there again in the New Year. It will be easier for me from now on because I'm living semi-permanently in Seville.
Hello - I used an app called Silver Way (this is a playstore link... it's available on apple too) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alethiasoftware.viaplata19feb&hl=en
I paid for the premium version and it was really great. I also used Gronze and mundicamino http://www.mundicamino.com/los-caminos/... and I had a kindle version of Gerald Kelly's book... each of them were useful but my favourite was def. the Silver Way app.
I blogged whilst I walked... I lost my heart to the Via de la Plata... not sure anything will ever feel as wonderful... but I keep tryinghttps://caminobrassblog.wordpress.com/2016/09/20/bordeaux-pizza-goodbyes/
I didn't walk VdlP yet but I know that much that I wouldn't set my phone on blimping every time I'd go 100 meters off the GPS track. It's just part of the route.Thanks @LesBrass. The reviews for the Silver Way App don’t appear very positive. Most comment that the GPS map doesn’t indicate actuallly where one is so I’m wondering if you could share what you found good about it.

Hi
Just to clear up the confusion about my Via de la Plata guide.
The Second Edition was released in late 2016. I called it Second Edition because it was a total rewrite of the First Edition. The latest version now is the 2019 Edition of the Second Edition. I agree it's a bit confusing, probably better to just call it the 2019 Edition, but I wanted to distinguish between a completely new version and an incremental update.
The 2019 Edition is available on Amazon and on the CSJ website, and should be in Ivar's online shop soon
It's also available as an Android app with iPhone on the way.
Best wishes!
Gerald
Yes I agree that the Camino is a “stroll in the park” vs the backpacking PCT, ACT, CDT, etcI didn't walk VdlP yet but I know that much that I wouldn't set my phone on blimping every time I'd go 100 meters off the GPS track. It's just part of the route.
Today I finished watching vlogs series about walking CDT (Continental Divide Trail) and I can tell you Spanish Caminos (even those less walked) are actually strolls in a park. What I want to say is that, yes be prepared but don't let all these info "ruin" or determine your walk too much. Just walk. Be in the moment. Enjoy it.
And maybe curse me for this suggestion
