Wise Pilgrim App and mileage calculation between destinations

[Kasee]

I’m three days into the Frances and can’t figure out how to calculate mileage between destinations. Last Fall, I was able to touch and hold a town name and it would set that town as the starting point and then adjust the mileage going forward. So, for example, I’m in Akerreta now and I would like for it to be mile 0 and show the mileage from here to Pamplona.

Did this feature get changed with the new updates? Or is it user error? (BTW, I’m current on updates.)

Press on your place in the list. A window will open, advicing you to sweep left. That's it. (I have the updated version).

When I press the name, I’m taken to the Reserve a Bed page. And the mileage numbers are in black and gray. They used to be in colors, if I remember correctly.

WisePilgrim will show up to help you soon, I suppose. He is active on the Forum. Maybe send him a PM (envelope symbol top right).

I had to figure this out after the upgrade also…
1.swipe left on a location without clicking on it or pressing on it
2. When you do this look on the right side and you will see an icon that looks like a plus sign in an upside down teardrop- way marker pin
3. Click on that and it will set that as the starting location.

That’s it!!! Thank you so very much.

I just tried this on both the Francés and Norte routes. When I press and hold down on a town in the Norte app I get a prompt telling how this works, but don't get the prompt in the Francés app.



I always noticed that the regions have been changed from their geographic names to Body, Mind, and Spirit, which I'm not crazy about, as I don't subscribe to this idea that one section is more important than others for these different aspects. What happens if you don't start until León? Does that mean that you miss the challenge to your body and only open your mind a tiny bit? Of course not.

I want the geographic sections back. Please.

How do I get the update? I think I have an old version.

The same way that you update any app on your phone.

When i did the Portuguese Coastal!
My assistive tech would read aloud the numbers on the right of each place IE the total km's
Porto to Santiago 271.3
Matosinhos 260.3
Just subtracted one from the other and likewise any other stage distance!
Being from a bygone age, i worked it out in my head !
(Oh and counting fingers and toes )

I also use that amazing advanced head technology! (seriously, as an old computer engineer, I always use my head (for training) whenever I don't have to write a computer program to solve calculations/other issues).

S'funny innit but my 2011 printed Brierley shows the exact same mileage (Kms) between Akerrata and Pamplona and I haven't updated it once since I slid it onto the bookshelf sometime in late 2012

Ah ha! Thanks for figuring that out for me! I was wondering as well.

Can you tell me how to remove a starting location? I am playing with the app to learn how to use it and I set a town but don’t want to keep it now. How do I reset it?

You just set s new town the same way as you set it before.
