Amazing, but unsure if it will continue to be updated

Am a bit more than halfway through walking the Caminho Portugues da Costa and this has been basically the only app I have used to plan my journey, get ideas for hostels to stay at along the way, etc. Has been absolutely invaluable and provided all of the information I need, including a very exact map that provided a couple of alternative routings that take you through more shaded/scenic routes than the official Camino, which has been great especially with a few very hot days of walking so far. However, unsure if the app will continue to be updated as the developer, Andy Max Jensen, tragically passed away while walking the Camino about a month ago. Huge loss for the Camino community, and forever grateful to him for providing such a fantastic, free resource. May he rest.

I just came back from walking the Camino, and I want to share how truly useful this app was for me. I was traveling alone, and it saved me from getting lost several times, helping me find my way back to the right path.It also helped me plan my hostels and decide how far I wanted to walk each day. I met two ladies who were also walking, and I taught them how to use the app — they still keep in touch with me and often say how thankful they are that I introduced it to them.I’m truly grateful to the person who developed this app and made it free for all of us. I hope the universe rewards you in the same generous way.

I absolutely love this app! Myself, my wife and my 3 teenagers all walk the Camino together. We often were separated, and I had full confidence that using this app everyone could make great decisions about their hike. It was really useful to know what was coming up next and whether or not there would be amenities that suited our needs.There were a couple of times where we misread signs and got off route. Because the app showed our exact location and the exact location of the route. It made it easy to get back on track. There was never any fear of being lost.We tried multiple apps and this is the only app we needed. We are headed back to do the Camino again next year and this is the only app we will use.

This app is great at showing you the route and where you are on it. It would be nice if it would tell you how far away your destination is from your current location. Would be even better if it would show you the location of bars and restaurants. It's hard marrying it with google maps for that info. It can also be a bit misleading eg I said our destination was Chafé which is one of the options it gives you but the route doesn't go through Chafé so we were merrily following the route assuming it would take us there.

Developer Response
Thanks for your thoughts. We listening. Bars and cafés will be displayed on the map within the next update within about one week. Counting the distance down is now on our list and will take longer..Buen Camino! Peter
