Does it really matter? Neither St Jean nor Santiago are moving so the distance between them never changes (geologists with an obsession for tectonic drift need not respond). The distance walked by pilgrims will vary considerably depending on their navigational skills, inclination to diversion and how often they nip off track for a discrete tinkle in the bushesI was looking at the wisepilgrim app for the Frances route and noticed that the distances don't always add up from one side to the other.
Has anyone else noticed this? Am I being overly observant about it!! Lol!
No, not really. It's more for judging distance for planning out the day. I figured I was being a little too picky about it. Even as I was typing the post...!Does it really matter?

Same for me with the Pacer app on my phoneI found that distances between stages on apps were generally a 1-2 km less when compared with distance measured on my Garmin/strava. I wouldn’t get too fussed about it. It can often be a few Km from one side of town to the other.
IIRC one side depicts the distance from the beginning to Santiago, while the other side displays the remaining distance to Santiago. Of course, I could be wrong.I was looking at the wisepilgrim app for the Frances route and noticed that the distances don't always add up from one side to the other.

I understand. I find the distances on all apps are different from what I actually walk from village to village. And the apod are always a longer distance. I use an app to estimate the distance I want to walk that day.

I don’t think that’s in dispute. The op is saying that the distance from start to end mileage doesn’t equal the individual town to town mileage within the app itself. So it’s a wise pilgrim app specific question rather than a one method to another question.I understand.

An example would settle all matters quicklyI don’t think that’s in dispute.

Indeed. Asked for in post #3.An example would settle all matters quickly
It might be the kilometer which breaks the camel’s back!Just keep walking you will get there. What is a kilometer or 2 among friends!!!!????
In the immortal words of John Lennon "you know, you know, you never know? You know!It might be the kilometer which breaks the camel’s back!
On a side note, are the Wise Pilgrim apps automatically updated on our devices? Should we receive a notification of this?I was looking at the wisepilgrim app for the Frances route and noticed that the distances don't always add up from one side to the other.

I think that it depends on if you have automatic app updates set up on your phone.On a side note, are the Wise Pilgrim apps automatically updated on our devices? Should we receive a notification of this?
