I loved using this app when I walked the Frances in 2015. Mine was running on Android also.Hello, has anyone else had any trouble with this? Apart from the factual accuracies which leave me second guessing stuff, it tends to fall over a lot. Running it on Android. Is it just me?

In the upper right corner of the app you will find an icon resembling a compass needle. Push the icon, and the map opens. The map will be of the area you are currently. Zoom out/mve the map to where you want (Spain) and start exploring.New guy here on a 4 year old thread, not sure if this is the best way to ask.. but... I downloaded the Wise Pilgrim Frances app to my Google phone and it is working fine. Then I downloaded the maps. That seemed to go fine but how do I see them? Can't find a "Maps" button. I'm in the US, do I need to be in Spain? Or, I have Google Maps, do I need anther app? I feel like the maps are in there, I just can't get them up.
If anyone can offer some advise I will appreciate it!
YesThanks Trecile. I ran the video, looks good but do the maps work i you're not on the camino?
The Wise Pilgrim apps are very good.Alex, you are a genius. Thank you!
I got the map going but when I close in on a town, the screen fills with black pop-up boxes that appear to be sponsored advertisements. They obscure the Camino trail and the places beneath it., making it very challenging to see which albergues are where!The Wise Pilgrim apps are very good.
This doesn't happen when I try it.

Is there a way to opt our of the black boxes?
I noticed the same thing today.This doesn't happen when I try it. Send a PM to @wisepilgrim for help.
Yes, that looked like overkill. When I check the Frances app, it shows some black boxes (albergues) that are clickable. Nothing as much as your example. I couldn't find any settings for enabling/disabling it.I noticed the same thing today.

I am sure @wisepilgrim will comment on it in here. My version of the app is nowhere near as cluttered as yours. But while I am at it: @wisepilgrim , is the app updated on my iPhone automatically? And is there any "settings" feature to reduce/expand these black boxes?Here is how Wise maps looks on the Frances. I think Michael is on the case. https://photos.app.goo.gl/8ZuJrDwNmEaLhZmx9
Zoom in further and you won’t see such crowding. Zoom out and they will disappear. They are not ads. They are towns that have services (food, or beds, post offices, trains, busses etc — all indicated by the symbols in the boxes). In real life, it’s very very useful. When you are going 25K, 30K… 42K in one day, it’s so useful to be able to to see where you have opportunities to stop.I haven't heard back from @wisepilgrim, he might be out on the trail.
Of the info in the boxes I like the Km number but the rest is unnecessary if you are just passing through. Even if you're stopping it's redundant. https://photos.app.goo.gl/L12HpobsBFK1Tpvw9
I've never walked it though, so I def could be wrong.
