Hi Friends!

I'm trying to find an app that can guide me through the camino norte.
I don't want to walk along roads and prefer to walk on paths.
Is there a good app that can help me?
Or are there other methods to find non-trafficked roads?

Thank you in advance.

Regards

Sanjayan

The Wise Pilgrim app shows some of the off road alternatives. I also used mapy.cz to guide me on some coastal paths.

I was finding that Organic Maps was pretty good for paths.

During my Camino in April-March, I met a very adventurous pilgrim who used mapy.cz to find interesting alternate routes, many of them along beaches. (My wife and I actually met him when we walked a bit out of our way to walk a beachfront promenade.) In retrospect, I wish I had used mapy.cz more often than I did -- especially on the day when we took a beach alternate but started on the wrong beach, losing a couple of hours. That said, we got our favorite beach photo on that beach!

Gronze was the most accurate app. We also used Buen Camino and Wise Pilgrim. In Austurias it can become very difficult sometimes as the markings were not always in plain site and in some places nonexistent. Bueno Camino.
