Hello: I am a new member hopeful of undertaking the Portugues Camino in 2025.... Would the Pilgrim guide Book 2018 be OK to use or as there been many changes requiring the 2024 Pilgrim guide book...Thanks for your feed backguys..
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
It depends on where you are walking from and what you are looking for from the guide. There will almost certainly be a number of changes to the available accommodations. Some of the places listed in the guide will have closed and no longer be available, new places will have opened and not be listed. In general, the route information should mostly still be correct, except if you are walking out of Lisbon there has been a substantial change to that section of the route.
 
Someone will be writing shortly recommending one or more online apps. I'm here to say that you could compare your older guidebook with information given by Gronze.com (probably not worth the effort though).

 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

On the Spanish part, there have been some, but not significant, at least not regarding places to stay. some alternative routes have popped up since then, and some improvements that you don't need a guidebook to discover.

Hello:
Thanks for your advise....I am use to a map and compass for hiking (UK) so I am feeling a bit of a loss with just a guide book right now.....I think I will use my 2018 Pilgrim guide and trust that the Camino will provide but for some reason I will take a compass as I will feel at a loss without one.. Thanks-Goldenboy
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Hola

You might already have a compass... many compass apps can be downloaded to smart phones so not any extra weight.
Also - I'v walked with guidbooks a few years old - alle fine with some help from online guides.

Buen Camino

If OP is unwilling or unready to use an app as a guidebook, I'm not sure they are any more ready to use one as a compass.
