GPS Devices

[jfc731]

I did a search typing GPS and read many informative posts.

It seems from what I have read that the route for the Camino Frances is well marked and I hope that is true.

QUESTION: Even so, in doing some research, I have wondered if my iPhone will do the trick using any number of apps or is having a hand-held GPS device, i.e., Garmin something necessary? Getting from Point A to Point B is good to know but what about elevation profile?

Any thoughts and/or advice you are willing to share is appreciated. Thank you.

Your phone and apps will suffice. Both Wise Pilgrim and Buen Camino apps have elevation profiles.

Here's an example from the Buen Camino app
