Camino Frances apps

[MCFearnley]

Hi all,

Any good, preferably free, Camino Frances apps that run on Android to recommend?

I am looking for an app that would have maps (elevation would be nice too) and recent information on albergues that neither uses data nor requires wi-fi. Essentially a static, electronic guidebook that can be accessed anytime, anywhere. It doesn't even need GPS. Something that will not suck battery life as I will be using my phone as my camera also.

Thanks,

Claire

Camino Pilgrim was my go-to for the Camino Frances. Up-to-date, info on what amenities there are at each albergue, info on restaurants (all in the app, no data required). If you pre-cache the route in Google maps before departure (go to settings > offline areas) you can use your GPS without data to see where you are relative to the features.

Thanks! That app looks really nice. I'll give it a whirl.

I used the WisePilgrim app, and found it more useful than the Brierley guidebook.

I used both the apps mentioned above, plus Camino de Santiago Guide. All three provided a different array of information. Wise Pilgrim works best with an internet connection, but I especially liked its elevation profile. Camino de Santiago Guide does not require one, but the information is more limited. Still, it had descriptions of albergues that other apps did not include.

Thanks, I will look into those other apps too.
