¡Buen Camino and thank you for your support!
Navigation across the map, the list of cities and elevation maps could be better implemented. Overall it was useful. The elevation map location did not correspond to the location.
Cannot Import From Planner to App
Phil_R-BC
Used this on Frances 2 years ago. Now for Primitivo: I can enter everything at wisepilgrim.com in ‘planner’ but; when place link in app, it is not what I planned. Tried different browsers, different emails; same problem. Awful.
Missing accumulated distances
Bartski2000
Looks to be comprehensive but it doesn't show the accumulated distances along the route.
Some of you opened the offline map and found... an empty world. The markers had wandered off on certain devices. I rounded them up, gave them a stern talking-to, and pinned them back where they belong. Your offline map is properly populated again. Plus a fix for pilgrims counting in miles — distances now read right across all screens.
