Excellent App - Very accurate navigation tool

Just finished French Camino. Excellent tool. It incorporates all alternative routes and with the location based position it helps you to arrive to the correct path.

Pictures of terrain profile are very accurate.

Thank you very much pilgrim Pedro for your comment! Buen Camino!

Helpful, but not always 100% accurate

Just finished the Portuguese Camino from Lisbon and referred to the app several times to make sure we were on track, or to get us back to the Camino when our accommodations were off the main route. As there have been some routing changes on the Portuguese Camino to avoid busy highways, it was not always 100% accurate, but combined with Google Maps, iOS Maps and our written route descriptions, it helped. Honestly, if Google or Apple could just add the Caminos to their Map applications, it would be far more helpful. After 4 weeks of walking, I was getting tired of toggling back and forth between applications. There were also a lot of cafes & restaurants en route that did not show up when we searched in the tool, but did in one of Map applications. I will probably use it again unless something better comes along before I head back in a couple of years.

Pretty good

Just finished the French Way using Camino Tool. It’s easy to use and fairly intuitive. I like the visual map with the GPS. It’s helpful to follow. There are several areas of improvement needed. It’s really slow to load. Really slow. With 5G over most of Spain, this was ridiculous. It’s hard to shift from the map to the list of towns with distances. The accommodation list is pitifully incomplete. It didn’t show alternative routes. It didn’t show changes in the route so often it was useless. It should have an option for user input for updates, changes, comments and corrections.

This is the only app I tried, only app I used. I will look at other apps that have improvements before I use Camino Tool again
