GPS Devices

Time of past OR future Camino
September 2024
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.
