Hi Clark.
I’m not a very technical person at all, so I hope you understand me, but this is what I did -
First of all I installed the ‘maps.me’ app on my iPad.
I found it in the App Store.
I then download the maps/tracks from this link, asking my device to download them specifically to the maps.me app -
https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...uguese-caminos-in-one-file.42296/#post-561484
I believe you can also save them to google earth.
I find maps.me much more useful, as it works by GPS so you can use it offline.
When we were misplaced this year on the Camino Ingles, it pinpointed where we were quite accurately, enabling us to then get back to the track in question.
Once this is done, open the maps.me app.
Along the task bar at the bottom click on the symbol that looks like two stars one above the other, next to three lines.
This will open your stored maps.
It’s then a simple case of choosing the track you need.
It’s quite simple to save a place you’re staying, for example, just press and hold the area in question. A box will open allowing you to save or calculate a route for you.
Recently I’ve been using the Senda Littoral and Caminha de Costa tracks and added refreshment stops and accommodation choices along the route.
Combined with google maps, they have been a great resource in finding accommodation in suitable places for our group of 12 walkers.
I hope you find my explanation understandable.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any difficulties or other questions.
Glad to help.
