I had made a list in google maps with all the as "best option" marked Albergues of this forum. The map is then saved as file on my phone to access it without having a decent connection.So my main question is, do you use something similar or have any advice? Thanks!
I’m similar, but more analogue.I will often use Gronze, apps, guidebooks, etc. and figure out what I think my probable stages are. Then I create a Google Doc with those stages. I fill that with information from all those sources, from Forum posts, etc. and that's how I do my planning.
I like 2 apps that give you not only the main stages but every town between: CaminoTool and CaminoNinja. I think Camino Ninja is especially good because it shows where bars restaurants and albergues and hotels/hostals are along the route. Both apps are good to keep you on the right track too….the main trails and any complimentary routes available.Hello,
My question is: For those of you who do a little bit of planning, do you use some sort of list of all towns and distances to have a general idea what towns you will pass through? (More than a guide book) I have a list, and it's OK, but I'm guessing there's a better method.
I am hoping to walk most of my April Camino Francés without reservations (except the usual bottlenecks and maybe a few special albergues). I got a list (I think here on the forum) of All towns and distances along the Francés, and I've been jotting down notes on the list. It's been handy to figure out how many days it might take to get to certain areas. Or for example, it's how I figured out which towns I might be near when on Easter and other holidays.
I suppose one could use a guide book for this, since it shows distances, but i like having the towns all displayed on one long list, instead of flipping through pages. I'll use the guide book and apps as well, but they don't seem to be great for adding notes and getting an idea of my overall plan.
Here's another example of where my list might come in handy: If I have heard so many wonderful things about Albergue XYZ, I may want to reserve that one, so my list can help me figure out my arrival date.

That sounds like something fun to look back at when you’re done. Kind of a pilgrims passport but more. Share a picture of a page if you care to.I’m similar, but more analogue.
I literally draw the route to scale on the left page of my journals, listing the places I’ll pass en-route. I know I’ll cover roughly a page and a half in a day’s walking so it helps me visualise where I should be looking to stay. I use the usual sources as @David Tallan and others to add notes and then en-route add sellos or other ephemera or notes as I pass.
Both the Wise Pilgrim and Buen Camino apps show where these places are.I think Camino Ninja is especially good because it shows where bars restaurants and albergues and hotels/hostals are along the route.
Trello. I love this app/website for Camino planning. You can add anything to it. I create lists for each town including distances between then. Cards for each accommodation option, shops, bars, must-do attractions, maps/elevations, interesting bits of history etc you can add labels as well. And it is all easy to shift around. I'm currently planning a Camino Mixto of Madrid/Salvador/Primitivo. It's a DIY guidebook.Hello,

What's the name of the app/website?Trello. I love this app/website for Camino planning
I had the same question. I think it's trello.com. It appears to be a tool to help organize any information you already have.What's the name of the app/website?
Thanks. I didn't know if trello was a typo.I had the same question. I think it's trello.com. It appears to be a tool to help organize any information you already have.

Yes indeed the LIST function is most useful and can be made public for other people, but the extension is the DIRECTIONS function (sat nav) where you simply add the places in the LIST to the DIRECTIONS for your daily plan then press SAVE TO PHONE and it guides you every meter of YOUR Camino, even updating your arrival time at each STEP along the way (maximum of 10).I had made a list in google maps with all the as "best option" marked Albergues of this forum.
I hasten to add that this is not INSTEAD OF gronze and Brierley etc but AS WELL AS.add the places in the LIST
Buen Camino and Wise Pilgrim also provide these.I like 2 apps that give you not only the main stages but every town between: CaminoTool and CaminoNinja.
