Accuracy is +/- 3m (10ft), depending on each specific receiving unit’s capability. The system works like traditional celestial navigation as GPS units receive signals from high-orbiting satellites to calculate specific coordinates at any given location. GPS stands for Global Positioning System, a technology developed for surveying and navigation purposes.

Be sure to put your phone in airplane mode to save battery, and consider carrying an external supplemental battery pack. The downside is that they drain your battery even quicker than normal, but can be a great backup and cost-effective option to a dedicated handheld GPS. Smart phone apps like this work without having a cellular signal, do not incur data roaming charges (if this is turned off on your phone) and utilize free topographical map base maps for offline viewing (based on OSM maps).

To use your iPhone or Android smart phone as a GPS, we recommend Ride With GPS or an application like Gaia GPS ($19.99). City maps ( plan de cuidad) are available at tourism information centers in every large population center, noted in city maps in the guidebook. Michelin makes a simple map booklet which is less detailed, but provides bare bones stage info and some context on surrounding areas.

Full amenities are listed in town boxes in text and elevation charts. Maps list amenities including overnight lodging, restaurants/cafes and supermarkets. Map scales range, designed to maximize space efficiently per page. These maps are a combination of GIS contour data, GPS recordings of the path itself, and added detail as relevant. The stage maps provided in our guidebook should be more than enough to provide accurate navigation, amenities, and points of interest. Most camino hikers do not carry detailed maps, as the route is very well marked. Please note that the distances you record while walking with your GPS device or phone may be longer than the actual distance of the route listed in the guidebook and its GPX tracks, which have been carefully edited to measure the length of the camino along a straight line beginning and ending at the town’s primary albergue. The increased distance most people record while walking is due to the culmination of slight detours into cafes or points of interest, geolocation noise while not moving, and the varied accuracy of individual GPS units which decreases in areas without an unobstructed view of the sky (like tall city buildings). Village to Village Camino Guidebooks include dozens of useful day stage and city maps, and a full GPX file set to offer assistance in planning and navigational aid.Ĭamino Francés: Download GPS files (Download GPX stage tracks from Ride With GPS)
