Yellow X Returns
The best features from our beloved geolocation toolkit are back—see exactly how far you are from the next town or the nearest albergue.
Dynamic Elevation Profile
Completely reimagined and interactive. Tap anywhere to see distances to points along your route. See where you are on the profile in real time. One complete elevation from start to finish, uninterrupted by page folds.
Improved Maps
Offline and online versions of beautiful topographical maps. More interactive, more informative, more helpful when you're standing at a fork in the path. Offline map tiles now available as an in-app purchase—individually or as a bundle.
Live Wildfire Map
See active wildfires across Spain and Portugal, updated daily from the EU's Copernicus fire service (EFFIS), plus this season's burnt areas along your route. A quick safety check before you set out.
More Routes
Now includes the alternate beginning on the Aragonés and the alternate ending on the Invierno.
Smarter Updates
Over-the-air updates only download what's changed. No more full app downloads eating through your data plan.
Itinerary Planner
Built-in planner, with the ability to import your plan from wisepilgrim.com too.
Pilgrim Tips
Leave tips for pilgrims following behind you, and benefit from those left before you.
Accommodation Directory
A full directory of albergues, camping, hotels, pensions, paradors, and casas rurales. Over 900 in total, with special attention to those that can be booked online.
Stageless Guide
No more "stage anxiety" or guide-created bottlenecks.
Photos
Photos of albergues, monuments and other points of interest along the way. Currently 900+ images and growing.
Comments
Albergue closed early for the season? Have a restaurant to share, or one to warn others about? Every location gives you the opportunity to leave a comment and read comments left by others. No registration necessary.
Notes
Jot down a note on any town, albergue, or stop on the route, or drop a pin on the map for water, viewpoints, photo spots, or places to come back to. Everything gathers on one page in order along the Camino, ready to search and export. Your notes stay private on your phone.
¡Buen Camino and thank you for your support!
Updated to the new App this morning. Looks great and can’t wait to use it on the Camino in April. A couple of minor glitches. Cannot take off the play mode in settings.
Found useful
Clansman.rks
Found this app very useful along with GPS practically impossible to get lost would be good if there was a way to update Alburgue and hostels that have appeared since and wether they accept reservations this year with Holly week it would certainly have helped. You must book ahead over a week in advance when close to the 100 kilometre mark and booking. Com always seems to have nothing where you need it and those available are always near or over€100.
Struggling with update
Mrs KatDip
I’ve used and found the app extremely useful on 3 Caminos. I am about to walk again, starting at Leon and am struggling with seeing how I freeze my location, it keeps taking me back to SJPP.Can’t see how I turn off play mode in settings. Otherwise the updates look great.
Useful, though buggy and incomplete
Naythanb
Has been handy for maps, info and accommodation, though lacks completeness of places to stay and Camino Complimentario sections, map is occasionally inaccurate, user comments are often in the wrong section (town rather than Albergue etc). Most frustratingly when trying to use the ‘locate me’ feature in the places list the app simply crashes and closes.
New — weather forecasts for every town and your itinerary stages.
A new Wildfire Map. Tap the Layers button and switch on Wildfires to see active fires across Spain and Portugal — updated daily from the EU's Copernicus fire service — plus this season's burnt areas along your route.
I've also refreshed the route tracks with cleaner elevation profiles and a few corrections, updated a number of albergues with the latest information I have, and fixed a few bugs along the way.
Buen Camino.
